Description

D-Day before dawn. The danger grows with each passing minute and hour. On June 6, 1944, a small detachment of British airborne troops stormed German defence forces, paving the way for the Allied invasion of Europe. The Pegasus Bridge was the first engagement of D-Day, a turning point in World War II. This gripping account by Stephen E. Ambrose brings to life a daring mission that was crucial to the success of the Normandy invasion. The story is one of heroism and cowardice, kindness and brutality, making it a compelling read. Ambrose's detailed account follows the preparations over many months, leading up to the intense hand-to-hand confrontations on the bridge.
