Description

Voices from D-Day brings to life the bravery and skill of the young men who fought to liberate Europe on June 6, 1944.

This new paperback edition tells the story of D-Day through firsthand accounts, including letters, diaries, and interviews with generals, politicians, front-line soldiers, and civilians. The book covers the entire campaign, from the meticulous planning that preceded the invasion to the hard-fought progress through Normandy and the eventual breakout at speed.

For many, this was their first experience of combat, an event that would change their lives forever. Today, visitors can still see reminders of D-Day on the beaches of Normandy and in the towns, villages, and cemeteries inland.
