Description
The Normandy Landings that took place on D-Day involved by far the largest invasion fleet ever known. The scale of the undertaking was awesome, with casualties mounting and tensions between commanders on both sides escalating. French civilians caught in the middle of these battlefields or under Allied bombing endured terrible suffering. Antony Beevor's gripping narrative conveys the true experience of war, landing the reader on the beach alongside the heroes whose stories he masterfully renders in their full terrifying glory. With an eye for telling detail and an ability to make complex events understandable, Beevor brings to life the events of D-Day in a way that is both thrilling and heart-breaking.
