D-Day

Antony Beevor has written a comprehensive work on the experience of war: the preparations for the Allied invasion of Normandy, the disciplined resistance of the German soldiers, the terrible confrontation on the beachheads, the arduous advance into French territory with battles as fierce as those fought on the Eastern Front, the ordeal of French civilians massacred by both sides, the miserable dissensions among military leaders, or the almost unbearable vision of the most terrible toll of war: the wounded, the exposed, and the dead.
