THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA LANDMARK NEW ACCOUNT OF THE SINGLE
MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF WW2, IN THE WORDS OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVED
IT**** 'Comprehensive... from a large and wide range of witnesses
on both sides' -The Telegraph'A sprawling history of D-Day from the
point of view of participants on both sides.' -Kirkus'A masterpiece
of oral history. Stirring, surprising, grim, joyous, moving and
always riveting.' -Evan Thomas'A new, complete portrait in time for
the 80th anniversary [...] Graff uses a wide array and diversity of
voices that give a fuller picture of the lead-up to the invasion,
as well as the fighting itself.' -Associated PressOn 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 - as well as the weeks
and months leading up to it. 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.** This book was originally
published as D-Day The Oral History, and the contents are the same.
