The Pendulum of Battle by Christopher Dunphie
Operation Goodwood, the largest tank battle involving British troops ever to have taken place, has been a perpetual subject of controversy. Was it intended as a break-out from the Normandy Bridgehead, or not? Was it a success or failure? Did it lead to a severe crisis in confidence over Field Marshal Montgomerys leadership? This book seeks to unearth the true background, reasons, aims and achievement of Goodwood, set in the context of the overall campaign, while bringing the battle to life through personal accounts of some of those involved, both British and German.
Brigadier Christopher Dunphie MC served with the Royal Greenjackets. He is the author of Brightly Shone The Dawn and Gold Beach - Inland From Jig. He is a sought after battlefield guide. He lives in Perthshire.
