On June 6, 1944, the largest land, sea, and air operation in history got way in northern France as more than 150,000 Allied troops began the invasion of German-occupied Western Europe. D-Day: The Story of the Greatest Military Operation in History provides bone-chilling details on how the Allies got to D-Day through months of meticulous planning for Operation Overlord, the fierce fighting that happened when they hit the beaches, and information about the Allied leaders who conceived, shaped, and executed the ambitious plan: General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Air Chief Marshal Arthur Tedder, Air Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory, General Bernard Law Montgomery, General Bertram Ramsay, General Walter Bedell Smith, General Omar Bradley, Group Captain James M. Stagg, General Miles Dempsey, and General Frederick E. Morgan. Learn why Normandy was chosen for the amphibious attack, how the Allied leaders deceived Hitler's army so the plan would work, why it took years of planning before they could put their plan into action, and the military operations that followed, including sobering accounts told by the soldiers who were there. Incredible in-the-field photos bring the war to life and place you smack dab in the middle of the fighting, among the men and the death and destruction that followed. You will also peek into the types of planes, ships, and tanks that were used in the fight, explore a chapter on an alternative history if the Allied forces had lost on D-Day, and learn where you can honor the military men who sacrificed their lives on that day. Contributor Marc DeSantis is the author of the Punic Wars naval history Rome Seizes the Trident and A Naval History of the Peloponnesian War. His articles have appeared in a wide range of international publications including MHQ, Military History, Ancient Warfare, Military History Monthly, History of War, and Ancient History Magazine.
