After the worldwide success of the bestsellers ‘Stalingrad’ and ‘Berlin’ historian and master storyteller Antony Beevor writes another master piece on one of the main turning points from World War II: D-day and the landing in Normandy.
It is a well-written book for devotees to history and culture. With the use of new material from more then thirty archives in six countries, the by far largest fleet invasion ever is described and Antony Beevor shows how the British, Canadian and American troops end up in battles that equal the East front in fierceness.
The often thrilling, nice and interesting anecdotes turn the book into a compelling story, such as the astonishment of the Americans over the tea-drinking Britons on the beach of Normandy.
