After two months of bitter combat in Normandy, Operation Bluecoat transformed the campaign into a war of movement. British and German armored divisions were flung against one another. Over the rugged terrain of the 'Suisse Normande', thrust met with counter thrust in a rapidly changing mobile battle. This is the story of the breakthrough begun on 30th July by 11th Armoured Division, Guards Armoured Division, and 15th (Scottish) Division. This was initially opposed by 21. Panzer Division, and later by the Germans' most powerful divisions in the west: 9. SS-Panzer 'Hohenstaufen' and 10. SS-Panzer 'Frundsberg'. The story of Bluecoat includes examples of virtually every type of Second World War armored combat: from infantry tanks to specialized flame-throwers and minesweeping tanks; from light armored reconnaissance units to the heaviest battle tanks of the Second World War. The experiences of both sides, German as well as British, are related as the story of a swirling armored Melle is played out under the hot summer sun between Caumont and Vire.

"Ma pauvre Bovary souffre et pleure dans vingt villages de France, à cette heure même." Et en tous lieux de la terre, aurait pu ajouter Flaubert.En épousant le médecin Charles Bovary, Emma imagine une vie bourgeoise brillante, née de ses rêves romanesques. Mais dans la bourgade normande où l'enferme son mari, médiocre et triste sire, elle ne tarde pas à périr d'ennui. Cette province n'est peuplée que d'imbéciles solennels, de faibles, de lâches et de séducteurs insignifiants. En guise de luxe et de passion, elle ne rencontre que libertinage et adultères humiliants, et bientôt, la ruine...Aprés cinqu ans de labeur prodigieux, souffrant le martyre comme son héroïne, Flaubert atteint enfin cette perfection artistique que la prospérité finira par reconnaitre.
