Synopsis
Anthony Beevor's stunning account of the invasion and subsequent battles that set the stage for the Allied victory in World War II draws on the personal experiences of the soldiers, as well as official documents. Beevor provides both a grunt's eye-level report of great carnage, as well as clear and readable explanations of command and strategy. His incisive, and sometimes highly critical, portraits of key players such as Generals Eisenhower and Montgomery make this a stand-out history.

Publisher's Note
The award-winning author of Stalingrad presents an account of the Normandy invasion that offers insight into the experiences of soldiers and French civilians, documenting the heavy casualties suffered on all fronts and the ways in which the war influenced relations between America and Europe.

Industry Reviews
"It is a dramatic, important and instructive story, and Beevor tells it surpassingly well. D-DAY is very much a work of military history, so of necessity it is chockablock with the sort of battlefield chess-playing that can leave the non-military mind in a state of considerable confusion. But Beevor is less interested in moving troops from pillar to post than in telling us what war was like for them and for the civilians whose paths they crossed. Readers fortunate enough to know his previous books...are aware that his fascination with warfare is compounded by a deep knowledge, not always encountered in military histories, that war is hell. People looking for romanticized combat or Greatest Generation sentimentality will not find an ounce of either here."
