Their mission - to establish a firm foothold for the invading armies. What followed is one of the greatest and veritable stories of men at war. Although the German defenders were spread thin, the hedgerow terrain favored them; and the American successes when they eventually did come were bloody, sporadic, often accidental. As the threads of the operation twine together, combat soldiers emerge as they really are ... face to face with danger and with themselves.
