Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
This excellent study of D-Day is clearly intended for the sixtieth-anniversary commemoration coming in June. Bastable covers the territory by means of eyewitness accounts, including those of elite combat soldiers, such as the paratroopers and rangers, and the mechanics who kept Allied air superiority as superior as it was and who, like the logisticians, have been unsung heroes of the operation. And that operation emerges in these pages as something only the World War II Anglo-American alliance could have carried out and as utterly essential for the Allied victory that undoubtedly shaped the future of civilization for the better.

Product Description
D-Day, June 6 1944, was the glorious turning-point in the Second World War. More than that, it was a pivotal day in human history. On that morning the largest armada ever assembled carried 150,000 men?British, American, Canadian?across the English Channel. Those men set down on a bleak and heavily fortified stretch of the Normandy coast, where they fought to end what Churchill called ?the new dark age? of Nazi domination.

All the men who came through that day had a story to tell: the soldiers, sailors, and airmen, but also the people of Northern France, the politic
