Description

A new perspective on one of the most pivotal moments in recent history, Normandy '44 D-Day and the Battle for France by James Holland, presents a fresh and unflinching account of the brutality and violence of the Normandy campaign. Drawing on unseen archives and testimonies from around the world, Holland challenges much of what we think we know about D-Day and the Normandy campaign, offering a broader overview of the events that shaped the Second World War. This sweeping narrative recalibrates our understanding of the true place of the Normandy campaign in the tide of human history. With a focus on the human drama of the invasion and the 76 days of bitter fighting that followed, Holland's epic telling introduces a cast of eye-witnesses, including foot soldiers, tank men, fighter pilots, and more, to create a profound and nuanced portrayal of this pivotal moment.
