THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER - REISSUED WITH A NEW FOREWORD FOR THE
75TH ANNIVERSARY 'Magnificent, vivid, moving, superb' Max Hastings,
Sunday Times ______________ This is the closest you will ever get
to war - the taste, the smell, the noise and the fear The Normandy
Landings that took place on D-Day involved by far the largest
invasion fleet ever known. The scale of the undertaking was awesome
and what followed was some of the most cunning and ferocious
fighting of the war. As casualties mounted, so too did the tensions
between the principal commanders on both sides. Meanwhile, French
civilians caught in the middle of these battlefields or under
Allied bombing endured terrible suffering. Even the joys of
Liberation had their darker side. Antony Beevor's inimitably
gripping narrative conveys the true experience of war. He lands the
reader on the beach alongside the heroes whose stories he so
masterfully renders in their full terrifying glory. ______________
'A thrilling story, with all Beevor's narrative mastery' Chris
Patten, Financial Times 'Beevor's D-Day has all the qualities that
have made his earlier works so successful: an eye for telling and
unusual detail, an ability to make complex events understandable,
and a wonderful graphic style' Ian Kershaw, Guardian, Books of the
Year 'D-Day's phenomenal success is both understandable and
justified' James Holland 'D-Day is a triumph . . . on almost every
page there's some little detail that sticks in the mind or tweaks
the heart. This is a terrific, inspiring, heart-breaking book' Sam
Leith, Daily Mail
