1944, Les Blindés Américains, de la Normandie à Mons.

The decisive success of Operation Cobra left an indelible impression of omnipotence in the collective imagination. Images of waves of tanks are still associated today with an all-powerful US Army. And yet! Four years earlier, in July 1940, the US Army did not have a single tank worthy of the name, nor a single armored division! The purpose of this book is to trace, through the 2nd and 3rd Armored Divisions, the path that led from the early days of the Louisiana training grounds to the battlefields of Normandy.
