Descriere

The Allied assault on Normandy beaches was an almost flawless success, but it was to take three months of bitter fighting before the German defence of Normandy finally collapsed and Paris was liberated. While transcending conventional military history, it provides an intensely vivid picture of one of the Second World War's most crucial campaigns.

Recenzii

"The story of this vast, complex, and risky amphibious assault, and the campaign which followed, has been told many times, but never better than by John Keegan." —The Wall Street Journal
