Sibert Honor author Deborah Hopkinson brings her signature
action-packed narrative style to one of the most crucial battles of
WWII. The WWII invasion known as D-Day was the largest military
endeavor in history. By June 6, 1944, Hitler and his allies had a
strong grip on the European continent, where Nazi Germany was
engaged in the mass extermination of the Jewish people. The goal of
D-Day was the total defeat of Hitler's regime, and the defense of
free democracies everywhere. Knowing they had to breach the French
coast, the US, Great Britain, and Canada planned for the
impossible.D-Day was an invasion not for conquest, but liberation,
and required years to plan and total secrecy to keep the advantage
of surprise. Once deployed, Operation Overlord involved soldiers,
sailors, paratroopers, and specialists. Acclaimed author Deborah
Hopkinson weaves together the contributions of not only D-Day's
famous players, but African Americans, women, journalists, and
service members in a masterful tapestry of official documents,
personal narratives, and archival photos to bring this decisive
battle to vivid, thrilling life.
