World War II scholar Whiting here examines the events at the close of 1944, when Allied troops liberated France and began the invasion of Germany. Whiting focuses on the pressures faced by the fighting men during the war against Germany's final campaign, a time that saw fatigue, illness, atrocities committed by both sides, and 100,000 Allied desertions. '44 is a book that looks beyond the propaganda and tells the truth about the loss in morale and combat strain that the average soldier faced in that momentous year.

About the Author:
Former combat soldier, historian, and author of A Traveler's Guide to the Battle for the German Frontier and Hunters from the Sky, Charles Whiting lives in York, England.
Review:
'44 re-creates the combat soldiers' world of more than fifty years ago. Whiting's depiction of the campaign makes this volume a seminal work of World War II history that is neither romantic nor glorious. (Dominic J. Caraccilo, Author of The Ready Brigade of the 82nd Airborne in Desert Storm.)
Rich in detail about the soldiers on both sides and studded with anecdotes of their experiences-heroic, tragic, ironic, and sometimes humorous―Whiting's book is a powerful reminder that war is neither romantic nor glorious. (World War II History)
