Description
D-Day: The Unheard Tapes brings to life the powerful and moving oral history of those who fought in the D-Day landings and battle for Normandy. Based on over 150 audio interviews, this book draws on extraordinary archives to describe the experiences of British, American, Canadian, and German veterans, as well as French civilians. The story is one of blood, chaos, and terror, but also of camaraderie, sacrifice, and survival. From the forward observer hiding alone on Omaha beach to the teenage GI surrounded by enemy fire, these voices reach across the decades to share their experiences with us. Geraint Jones skillfully brings the battle for Normandy to life in this vivid narrative that allows the voices of those who fought to shine through. Authentic and unforgettable, D-Day: The Unheard Tapes is a powerful tribute to the men and women who took part in one of the most critical turning points in World War II.
