From Martin Dugard, the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Bill O'Reilly's Killing series―with more than 12 million copies sold―comes a thrilling account of the World War II Allied liberation of Paris from the grip of the NazisAugust 1944: After two months of combat and slaughter in the wake of D-Day, Hitler's troops have managed to avoid annihilation.

He knows that seizing Paris, instead of pressing the immediate advantage toward the German heartland, is a mistake. But Paris, a symbol of the liberty the Allies hold so dear, is different. Over 120,000 Parisians
