France, August 1944. In this alternate history WW2 adventure, American and British forces struggle to trap and destroy the still-potent German armies defending Normandy. But the Allies face another formidable obstacle of their own making: a seething rivalry between generals leads to a high-level disregard for orders that puts the campaign in the Falaise Pocket at risk of devastating failure - or spectacular success. That campaign unfolds through the eyes of two American brothers - one an idealistic pilot, the other a fatalistic tanker - as they plunge headlong into the confusion and indiscriminant slaughter of war.

Another great read

I’ve met veterans with PTSD who had less combat experience than the Moon brothers. The idea of sending troops into combat is daunting. Whenever I hear someone telling me we should go to war over this issue or that all I can think of is “If it is so important, you join the army and get up on the front lines.” This is a book about WWII and that war never repeated itself. All the wars we have been in recently are different. Future wars will be different too. Great read Mr. Grasso.

this is actually a good novel set in Normandy in the summer of 1944

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2016

Although billed as alternate history, this is actually a good novel set in Normandy in the summer of 1944. The author has done his homework on the P-47, the Sherman tank, and on the units engaged in the drive to Mortaine. He is less convincing in his presumably fictitious dialogues of Churchill, Eisenhower, etc but this is not all that important in the overall context of the book. More seriously, this is also true of the fictional French Resistance characters, and this is one of the reasons for only four stars. Another reason is that while the alternate history aspect of this novel is reasonable enough (i.e. the German 7th Army is trapped - as it nearly was, and should have been), the ending is abrupt and not at all convincing. Still, a good read and worth the price.

Gritty Moon brothers reflect the greatest generation

Great story of two brothers fighting in WWII in the same theater of operation in Europe, one from the air and one from ground. The action was non stop, with the classic elements of two hero’s facing danger, loss, love, and the will to continue on against a tenacious enemy. Looking forward to the next book as the adventure continues. Another great Grasso series!!

Grasso Did it Again

I really like his books. He has put a lot of thought in them. This one deals with ASO ( Air Support Operations) in which pilots take a turn being on the ground to direct attacks from the air. Good book, the only thing I question is the amount of Ferdinand tanks fighting. They were a total of 90 built. Many of them fought on the eastern front. I doubt there were that many of the Western front. Maybe I should ask him.

Any history buff will enjoy. The characters are believable the language salty.it moves along and the real or imagined letters between Patton, Ike, Montgomery et al adds flavor. A very good read, thanks Mr. Grasso!

One of the best WW II novels, action packed throughout . One brother a TC on a M-4 tank using the obsolete 75mm round was no match for the German 76mm or 88mm round. The. M-4 ignited like the Zippo lighter when hit.
The younger brother flew a P47 "Jug" and was shot down and ......

Great action, complex strategy

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2016

A well-written novel of World War II, it deviates from history intentionally, offering an alternative history version. Unfortunately, you must be a well-versed student in the battle for France to understand how this version differs from reality. That said, having the main characters be brothers, one a fighter pilot and the other a tank commander, allows the reader to see the battle from many different perspectives. Other important characters include a fictional French female Resistance fighter, and actual well-known military officers. The political and strategic disagreements within Allied higher command somewhat detract from the more personal stories of the main characters, but illuminate what drove the battles and how they might have turned out differently. Still, I find Mr. Grasso's Jock Miles books more enjoyable.
