Krátky popis
Eighty years on, D-Day The Oral History is a fresh and significant
new history of arguably the most important day of the 20th
Century.On 6th June 1944, the Allied invasion began. For hours,
wave after wave of soldiers, sailors, and airmen crossed the
channel and stormed the Normandy coast, fighting to gain a foothold
in Nazi-occupied Northwest Europe. It was the largest combined air
and seaborne invasion ever, involving over 150,000 Allied troops on
the ground, and its eventual success became a critical turning
point in the war, spelling the beginning of the end for the Third
Reich.As the events of that day fade from living memory, it's more
important than ever to understand what it felt like to be there and
to live through it, on both sides.In this definitive work, Garrett
M. Graff, the bestselling author of The Only Plane in the Sky: The
Oral History of 9/11, compiles over 600 US, Canadian, UK, French
and German voices to tell the full story of exactly how that
historic day unfolded, in visceral detail. From paratroopers to
fighter pilots to nurses, generals, French villagers, German
Defenders to Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt, this is the
most intimate re-telling of D-Day published to date.
