While the Allied armies were deadlocked with the Germans in Normandy after D-Day and even as they broke out and began their long advance, another campaign was being fought against the Germans in southern France and it is this campaign, which is often neglected in accounts of the liberation of Europe, that is the subject of Anthony Tucker-Joness latest photographic history. In a sequence of over 150 wartime photographs he tells the story, from the amphibious invasion of the French Riviera Operation Dragoon to the battle at Montelimar, the forcing of the Belfort gap, the destruction of German resistance in the Colmar pocket and the entry of Allied forces into southern Germany. His concise narrative gives a graphic overview of each phase of the operations, and the selection of photographs shows the American, French and German forces in action. The mechanized and armoured units and their equipment are a particular feature of the book. The photographs are a valuable visual record of the tanks, guns, jeeps and trucks the most up-to-date military vehicles and weaponry of the time as they moved along the roads and through the towns and countryside of southern France.

Reference the kindle version: good description of the fighting from Dragon thru the crushing of the Colmar pocket. One of the better IoW books in regards to picture captions. However a couple of maps would of been helpful - I consulted Google maps continually although many of the smaller towns mentioned failed to be found.

Tutti sanno tutto dello sbarco in Normandia, mentre dell'altro lato della tenaglia, l'invasione del sud della Francia si ignora quasi tutto. Questo sintetico volume ricco di foto (zoomabili in formato kindle) copre brillantemente la carenza. Se poi lo acquistate in offerta per pochi cent, meglio ancora

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs more armour.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 5, 2016

While everybody knows about D-Day, not too much time had been devoted to the Allied landings in the South of France in the summer of 1944. This book, another recent addition to the Images of War series, fills that knowledge gap to some degree, looking at the use of tanks in this campaign.

Whilst there are some interesting photographs within, there is I think a bit of a problem; the title of this book is "Armoured Warfare...", and yet we are 'treated' with many photographs that have nothing to do with this at all - shots within and without of B-17s, a Hellcat fighter taking off from an aircraft carrier, French warships being sunk in Toulon. This seems to be a recurrent theme in similar Images of War publications I've purchased of late, especially from Anthony Tucker-Jones. If you title a book armoured warfare that's what should be inside, not fillers of infantry doing what infantry do. I'm glad I didn't pay full price for this.
