		The mighty Second Armored Division of World War II was activated at Fort Benning, Georgia, on 15 July 1940, under command of General Charles L. Scott.
		Breakout at Normandy: The 2nd Armored Division in the Land of the Dead is a wonderfully crafted and riveting story that fills a nearly complete void in one of the most heralded Allied actions of the post-D-Day period of World War II.
		Breakout at Normandy is separated roughly into four major parts: 1) pre-breakthrough background (Chapters 1 and 2); 2) the actions of the 2nd Armored Division to generate the breakthrough (Chapters 3-12); 3) the wildly successful defense of the breakthrough against retreating German forces (Chapters 13-18); and 4) breakout and post-breakout actions (Chapters 19 and 20).
