398 pages, illustrations, pictorial wrappers, very good. From the back cover: "Hoping to avoid an unfavorable comparison with the much larger United States Army in France, the British sometimes played politics with Allied strategy. The trouble began at a small town in Normandy named Falaise. The fourteen (14) miles between Falaise and Argentan have come down through history as the Falaise Gap. This gap was used as the escape route out of Normandy for over 100,000 German soldiers between 12 August and 21 August 1944. The Supreme Allied Commander, US General Dwight D. Eisenhower was not able to keep his armies focused on their enemy. After the Battle of the Falaise Gap, Allied decisions appeared to be more the result of partisan political bickering than sound military strategy. By September 1944, the Anglo-American military alliance was dead and it required every ounce of General Eisenhower's considerable political skill to keep this secret from the public." ; 398 pages
