Driving Back the Nazis

**A gripping account of the Allied liberation of Western Europe, masterfully told by Emmy-award winning writer and historian Martin King.** Through the autumn of 1944, Allied troops made their way across Nazi-occupied Europe, liberating towns and villages as they went. *Driving Back the Nazis* explores this process of liberation, from the arrival of Allied forces in Paris through the emancipation of Belgium to the closing down of Nazi prison camps. But there was a darker side to liberation too - collaborators were harshly punished, and in some cases the liberating forces brought their own troubles with them.Martin King tells the story of liberation from all sides - we hear the voices of Allied high command, ordinary American and British soldiers, local civilians, and even the defeated German forces.
