Description
A sweeping, meticulously researched account of the Allied invasion of Normandy, this book reconstructs the events leading up to June 6, 1944, and the brutal campaign that followed. It moves from the highest levels of Allied planning and German defenses to the experiences of soldiers, civilians, and commanders caught in the invasion’s violent aftermath. With vivid detail and a strong human focus, it explores courage, confusion, strategy, sacrifice, and the immense cost of liberating Western Europe. The result is a compelling and authoritative portrait of one of the defining military operations of the Second World War.
