		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).
