The Struggle for Europe
by Chester Wilmot
Chester Wilmot was an Australian war correspondent. The Struggle for Europe (1952) is his journalistic and highly readable account of World War II which has also won the admiration of military historians. Michael Howard writes in the introduction that it is “a book which deserves to rank as highly as a journalistic scoop as it does as a work of history.” Although the book starts with Dunkirk and covers the entire period until the victory in Europe, D-Day is the subject of the whole of Part II of the book, and covers it in detail.
