Synopsis
"The best sort of popular military history."--Times Literary Supplement. No one who was alive on June 6, 1944, will ever forget that historic day...and those who came after will hear of it with awe: it was the moment when the tide of war turned to victory, when the long-elusive dream of peace finally seemed attainable. This minute-by-minute account of the Normandy landings by Allied forces unforgettably reconstructs, in pictures and first-person reminiscences, every important minute of the invasion. 224 pages (80 in color), 90 b/w illus., 9 13/16 x 9 13/16.

Reviews
British journalist Collier, who has written numerous books on World War II (The Sands of Dunkirk), has now produced a colorful and abbreviated history of the D-Day invasion of France on June 6, 1944. His succinct narrative is complemented by documents and many eyewitness accounts and is lavishly illustrated with photos and artwork. Despite its attractive visual appeal and coffee table-book format, the scholarship and research are sound. Collier clearly presents the complicated buildup and planning for the massive Allied amphibious assault on Hitler's Fortress Europe as well as the uncertainty and chaos of that fateful day on the beaches of Normandy. Best are the chapters on Allied intelligence and deception plans and the pre-invasion sabotage operations of the French partisans. This book cannot be considered the definitive history of D-Day, but it is a nice supplement to the more dramatic and detailed D-Day accounts of Stephen Ambrose, Gerald Astor, and Theodore Wilson. Recommended for public libraries.
