11. History
of United States Naval Operations in World War II: The Invasion of France
and Germany, 1944-1945
by Samuel Eliot Morison
With this volume, Samuel Eliot Morison recounts the U.S. Navy's role
in the largest and most complicated military operation ever undertaken:
the invasion of Normandy. Involving more than a million American soldiers,
124,000 sailors, and 427,000 aviators, Operation Neptune-Overlord encompassed
five major landings on the Norman coast. The most famous of these--the
Utah and Omaha beach landings--involved the Western Naval Task Force, while
the Eastern Naval Task Force covered landings at Gold, Juno, and Sword
beaches.
Combining meticulous detail with a forceful account of the action, Morison
describes the landings themselves as well as the "dirty work in the dark"
that preceded them: deceptions, diversions, commando raids, parachute drops,
minesweepings, air bombing, and naval bombardment. As Morison shows, the
fire curtain provided by the guns of the navy proved to be one of the most
valuable trump cards of the Anglo-United States invasion armies.
Morison covers the vital capture of Cherbourg as an invasion port and
the diversionary landings in southern France that, together with Overlord,
comprised the two main operations in the invasion of Europe in which the
U.S. Navy played a leading part. At every stage, the fate of thousands
of men depended not only on their own raw courage and resourcefulness but
on quirks of timing and sheer luck. Morison offers a magnificent chronicle
of these heroic days that definitively turned the tide of the war in Europe.
