This book was written by the Historical Division of the US War Department, republished in 1984, the narrative is 128 pages and is illustrated with black and white photos and drawings. Twelfth in a series of studies on particular combat operations, St. Lo is the story of a Corps in First Army during the bitter July that led up to and made possible the breakthrough from the Normandy beachheads. This was the period of the most intense hedgerow fighting. XIX Corps' part in has been chosen to illustrate this type of combat. The record of the other First Army units in this operation have been covered only in outline. This study is based upon a first narrative by 2LT David Garth, prepared in the field from military records and from notes and interviews recorded during the operation by members of the 2nd Information and Historical Service Detachment. The manuscript of this historical officer has been edited and partially rewritten with the help of additional documentation by Colonel Charles H. Taylor of the Historical Division, War Department Special Staff. As it is true of all combat accounts, available information is uneven in coverage, and field reports are not free of minor errors. The results of this will be apparent to men who participated in the action. This soft back book is in good condition and will make a great reference source.
