Described by S.L.A. Marshall as "The bloodiest small unit struggle in the experience of American arms",
the Battle for La Fière Bridge is at the heart of Robert M. Murphy's "No Better Place to Die."
Murphy, a veteran of A-Company, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division,
dropped behind the German lines beyond Utah Beach, the night before D-Day to prepare the way for the
rest of his division. Within our Souvenir Selection, the Bob Murphy Book is the most important item !!
His personal story is intertwined in the struggle for the key terrain in and around Sainte-Mère-Eglise;
terrain vital for the protection of Utah Beach from enemy counterattacks. This book is just about the
only one that focuses on this bloody battle. Check out the cover: June 1944, the Bridge and the B&B !
Bob Murphy signed the contract to reprint his
book, 3 weeks before he passed away in 2008.
The book was scheduled to be released by
the 6th of June, 2009. AND IT DID.
Read the book while you're at the battle's location !!
We sell this book at our B&B, the very location
that is pictured on the cover of this new edition
of Bob Murphy's classic book. (We also sell the
FRENCH edition of Bob Murphy's book !!!).
