D-Day, the largest amphibious invasion in history, took place on June
6, 1944. The subsequent battle of Normandy involved over a million men
from America, Canada, Britain, France, Poland, and Germany, and helped
seal the fate of Hitler"s Third Reich.
This book, published to
celebrate the 60th anniversary of D-Day, is a graphic account of the
planning and execution of Operation Overlord, as well as the campaign that
effectively destroyed the German forces in France and opened the way for
the Allied advance to Holland, Belgium, and into Germany itself.Written by
one of Britain"s best-known and respected military historians, Professor
Richard Holmes, and including a wealth of firsthand accounts, The D-Day
Experience contains 30 facsimile items of D-Day memorabilia integrated
into the pages of the book.
The reader can relive this momentous
period of 20th century history by holding and examining maps, diaries,
letters, sketches, secret memos and reports, posters, and labels that up
until now have remained filed or exhibited in the Imperial War Museum and
other North American archives. In addition, the accompanying CD contains
60 minutes of firsthand veteran accounts from American, Canadian, and
British troops. |
