Kirkus Reviews
, starred review) account of the famous World War II D-Day landings “[will] stand with that of the best journalists and writers who witnessed it” (
The New York Times Book Review
).
On June 6, 1944, the American and British armies staged the greatest amphibious landing in history—called Operation Overlord—the battle for the liberation of Europe. Despite the Allies’ absolute command of sea and air and vast firepower, it took ten weeks of fierce fighting for them to overpower the tenacious, superbly skilled German army.
