Guardian Bookshop Notes:

From the author of "Stalingrad" and "Berlin", which have sold 250,000 copies in hardback. The Normandy landings was the biggest invasion fleet ever known, with some of the most ferocious and savage fighting of the War. Tensions mounted on both sides, while the French civilians caught in the middle endured horrific suffering. But the landings didn't just affect the course of the War and the generation that went through it; they changed much of the post-war world, profoundly influencing relations between America and Europe, yet this aspect has remained ignored for decades.

Publisher's description:

The Normandy Landings that took place on D-Day involved by far the largest invasion fleet ever known. The scale of the undertaking was simply awesome. What followed them was some of the most cunning and ferocious fighting of the war, at times as savage as anything seen on the Eastern Front. This book offers an account of the battle of Normandy.
