June 6, 1944: The greatest amphibious invasion the world had ever seen was launched, involving thousands of ships, incredible planning and preparation, and a million courageous soldiers, sailors, and airmen willing to sacrifice their lives for victory. Author and journalist Bruce Bliven was there that day, on the beaches of France, and he recounts it all, from the risky plans developed by the American and British military leaders through the daring landing itself. Most important, he shares stories of individual bravery shown by soldiers who waded or parachuted ashore in what became the turning point of the war.

Invasion-The story of D-Day by Jeremy,
This review is from: Sterling Point Books: Invasion: The Story of D-Day (Paperback)
I read this book for my summer reading. I liked it because I like World War II. The pictures were cool they were actual pictures from that war. It took me 3 days to read it,it was so good. I want to read the other books from this series.
I recommend buying it. Jeremy

D-Day,
By emily "FunSchoolingAtHome" (Las Vegas, Nevada, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sterling Point Books: Invasion: The Story of D-Day (Paperback)
I think this book is a great read, especially if you are studying this topic in school. This book will add a great deal to your knowledge and understanding of what happened that day and the events leading up to the attack. It really goes into a lot of detail on preparation and how things were carried out. If you are interested in WWII and reading this for leisure, it will still be a beneficial read. It can be a little dry for those not interested in this part of history or war, but everyone who reads this will gain from it and have a better appreciation for our service men and women. It would be great if all young people could read this. I also recommend it to older people who are wanting to learn more about D-Day.
