Voices from D-Day

D-Day, June 6th, 1944, was the momentous turning point in World War II. More than that, it was a pivotal day in human history. On that morning, the largest armada every assembled carried 150,000 men - British, American, Canadian - across the English Channel. Those men set down on a bleak and heavily fortified stretch of the Normandy coast, where they fought to end what Churchill called ?the new dark age? of Nazi domination. Compiled from contemporary letters and diaries, ?Voices From D-Day? features first hand accounts of the Normandy landing, from both sides of the battle. Here, readers will find the voices of the great military planners, Churchill, Patton and Eisenhower, alongside tales of the battle from the ordinary soldier under intense fire, the French people watching the invasion and the German soldiers, facing the unexpected enormity of Operation Overlord.
