D-Day is the remarkable story of the planning and execution of the Normandy landings as seen through the eyes of those closest to the action?the young soldiers who were the first to storm the beaches, their pressured commanders, the daring French Resistance volunteers, and the special commandos and double-agents engaged in a deadly game of truth and deception. More than the dramatic chronicle of the greatest campaign in military history, this handsome volume is also a tribute to the veterans who, with their heroic efforts, changed the course of the war?and of history.
