D-Day was the largest amphibious invasion in history and one of the world's most famous military actions. It has become the stuff of legend through films such as "Saving Private Ryan" and TV series such as "Band of Brothers". To commemorate its 65th anniversary, Carlton is proud to present Commando's hardest-hitting anthology of war comic stories ever, covering all the heroic action of 'The Longest Day', 6 June 1944. From "Ambush at Dawn", "Normandy Drop" and "Blood of Heroes" to "Operation Bulldog" and "The Footsloggers", "Commando: D-Day Fight or Die!" features a dozen action-packed stories of the Tommies who stormed Hitler's formidable Atlantic Wall from air, land and sea-and won.

This review is from: Commando: D-Day Fight Or Die! (Hardcover)
These books had been recommended to me by an on-line friend in Scotland. I ordered this one in October for this Christmas. It did take a few weeks to get here. But, oh what a hit!!! He is totally loving the history, the stories. The book is well-done, put together in a lovely soft bound format. When the nerf guns and legos are put away, I know he will value this book for a long time.
