The book explains in vivid detail the greatest war spectacle in the world history; the allies landing on July 6 1944 in Normandy beaches of France to defeat the great Hitler. There had never been a battle mission of such scale and grandeur and probably (and hopefully) never again be in future. In one single day Allied deployed 4900 warships, 12000 fighter aircraft and almost a hundred thousand ground forces. If you like war stories like me you should not miss this.
