Drawing on a decade of new research, Peter Caddick-Adams masterfully recreates what it was like to wade out onto the carnage of Omaha Beach, or parachute behind enemy lines in Normandy. He explores the year-long preparations that went into the invasion, overturning decades-old assumptions about Allied strategy. And he pays tribute to the remarkable individuals who made D-Day possible - not just soldiers on the beaches, but also paratroopers, sailors, aircrews, and women on the Home Front.The result is a compulsively readable account of the greatest battle of the Second World War. It will be the definitive work on D-Day for years to come.________________'A hugely impressive book which makes full use of a lifetime of learning and experience.'
