THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER REISSUED WITH A NEW FOREWORD FOR THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY'Magnificent, vivid, moving, superb' Max Hastings, Sunday Times'D-Day's phenomenal success is both understandable and justified' James HollandThe Normandy Landings that took place on D-Day involved by far the largest invasion fleet ever known. The scale of the undertaking was awesome and what followed was some of the most cunning and ferocious fighting of the war. But as casualties mounted, so too did the tensions between both side's principal commanders and French civilians continued to be caught in the middle of it all. Antony Beevor's inimitably gripping narrative conveys the true experience of war. He lands the reader on the beach alongside the heroes whose stories he so masterfully renders in their full terrifying glory.

The Normandy Landings that took place on D-Day involved by far the largest invasion fleet ever known. The scale of the undertaking was simply awesome. What followed them was some of the most cunning and ferocious fighting of the war, at times as savage as anything seen on the Eastern Front. As casualties mounted, so too did the tensions between the principal commanders on both sides. Meanwhile, French civilians caught in the middle of these battlefields or under Allied bombing endured terrible suffering. Even the joys of Liberation had their darker side. The war in northern France marked not just a generation but the whole of the post-war world, profoundly influencing relations between America and Europe.Making use of overlooked and new material from over thirty archives in half a dozen countries, D-Day is the most vivid and well-researched account yet of the battle of Normandy. As with Stalingrad and Berlin, Antony Beevor's gripping narrative conveys the true experience of war. Digital Content>E-books>Military History>WWII>WWII, Penguin Publishing Group Digital >16<

Glorious, horrifying... D-Day is a vibrant work of history that honors the sacrifice of tens of thousands of men and women.—TimeRenowned historian Antony Beevor, author of Stalingrad and The Battle of Arnhem, and the man who single-handedly transformed the reputation of military history (The Guardian) presents the first major account in more than twenty years of the Normandy invasion and the liberation of Paris. This is the first book to describe not only the experiences of the American, British, Canadian, and German soldiers, but also the terrible suffering of the French caught up in the fighting. Beevor draws upon his research in more than thirty archives in six countries, going back to original accounts and interviews conducted by combat historians just after the action. D-Day is the consummate account of the invasion and the ferocious offensive that led to Paris's liberation. Digital Content>E-books>Military History>WWII>WWII, Penguin Publishing Group Digital >16<
