Americans in Brittany 1944: The Battle for Brest
- Book Review, by Jonathan Gawne

Book Description
Capturing the harbor at Brest in Brittany was crucial for securing the flank of the Normandy landings in the summer of 1944. The U.S. 4th and 6th Armored Divisions were detailed for the task. Facing them were such units as the Germans could throw together, but stiffened by Bernhard Ramcke's elite paratroopers. The author of Spearheading D-Day has drawn information from numerous veterans not previously interviewed as well as untapped European sources. The detailed text is supplemented by unpublished period photographs, definitive unit organization charts, maps, and photos of uniforms and equipment.
