A Flawed Victory. A devastating history of the US infantry assault on Omaha Beach, the D-Day landing immortalised in the opening sequences of Saving Private Ryan. Although blame for the Omaha Beach near-fiasco has traditionally been placed on tactical leaders at the battle site, Adrian Lewis reveals that most of the tactical leaders were opposed to the plan from the beginning. Publication coincides with 60th anniversary of the D-Day landings in June 2004.
