Each chapter begins with an overview of a particular battle, which provides the context for the tour that follows. Included in each tour section are descriptions of the battlefields, relics still remaining at battlefield sites, and the exploits of particular individuals and units. \nThe March to Victory includes references to many new memorials and monuments that have been dedicated since 1984. In addition, the authors have expanded the museum list and updated the bibliography. \nThis useful and fascinating guide will appeal to travelers, veterans, students of military history, and all others who wish to learn more about the history of World War II. \n\nJohn T.
