Product Information
A reinterpretation of the British Army's conduct in the crucial 1944-45 Northwest Europe campaign, this work examines systematically the Colossal Cracks operational technique employed by Montgomery's Anglo-Canadian 21st Army Group and demonstrates the key significance that morale and casualty concerns exerted on this technique. To ensure a full understanding of the campaign, one needs to look not only at Montgomery's methods but at those of his army commanders, Dempsey and Crerar; thus, this study addresses the scant attention to date paid to these two figures. Hart suggests that Montgomery and his two senior subordinates handled this formation more effectively than some scholars have suggested. In fact, Colossal Cracks, the concentration of massive force at a point of German weakness, represented the most appropriate weapon the 1944 British Army could develop under the circumstances. Previous studies have been characterized by an overemphasis on Montgomery's role in the campaign, rather than a systematic examination of overall British methods. They have ignored the difficulties that the 1944 British Army faced given its manpower shortage, and they have underestimated the appropriateness of Monty's methods to the campaign war aims that Britain pursued: namely, the desire that Britain's modest military forces secure a high profile within a larger Allied effort. The cautious, firepower-laden approach used by the 21st Army Group was both crude and a double-edged sword; however, despite these weaknesses, Colossal Cracks represented an appropriate technique given the nature of British war aims and the relative capabilities of the forces involved. It proved to be just enough to defeat the Germans and keep alive British hopes that her war aims might be achieved.

Reviews
"Incisive, eminently objective, and literate, this thoughtful study advances considerably our understanding of the war's most controversial field commander and his Normandy campaign." WWII History, "The merit of this book is that it may go some way towards restoring Montgomery's standing--at least as a realist--in American eyes, given its publisher. It may also help some of the arch-maneuverists to understand just why the British/Canadian armies of the period fought in the manner they did."- The British Army Review, "This book is an outstanding contribution to our knowledge of the way in which Montgomery and the historians have constructed their histories of the campaign in north-west Europe." War in History, "This book is an outstanding contribution to our knowledge of the way in which Montgomery and the historians have constructed their histories of the campaign in north-west Europe."- War in History, "Incisive, eminently objective, and literate, this thoughtful study advances considerably our understanding of the war's most controversial field commander and his Normandy campaign."- WWII History, "A welcome study based on research in Canadian as well as British archives that adds to our understanding of the limitations under which Montgomery fought and won his battles."- The Journal of Military History, ""Montgomery and 'Colossal Cracks'" is an interesting book and provides a much-needed examination of the command structure of the 21st Army Group. The chapters devoted to Montgomery's relationship to his army and corps commanders are essential to a better understanding of the dynamics of the British high command."- Bowling Green Daily News, "The merit of this book is that it may go some way towards restoring Montgomery's standing--at least as a realist--in American eyes, given its publisher.
