The most comprehensive and authoritative history of D-Day ever published Extraordinary Andrew Roberts Fascinating Daily Mail Magisterial James Holland________________6 June 1944, 4 a.m. Hundreds of boats assemble off the coast of France. By nightfall, thousands of the men they carry will be dead.This was D-Day, the most important day of the twentieth century.In Sand and Steel, one of Britain s leading military historians offers a panoramic new account of the Allied invasion of France. Drawing on a decade of new research, Peter Caddick-Adams masterfully recreates what it was like to wade out onto the carnage of Omaha Beach, or parachute behind enemy lines in Normandy. He explores the year-long preparations that went into the invasion, overturning decades-old assumptions about Allied strategy. And he pays tribute to the remarkable individuals who made D-Day possible not just soldiers on the beaches, but also paratroopers, sailors, aircrews, and women on the Home Front.The result is a compulsively readable account of the greatest battle of the Second World War. It will be the definitive work on D-Day for years to come.________________ A hugely impressive book which makes full use of a lifetime of learning and experience. Herald Peter Caddick-Adams D-Day must surely go down as the definitive narrative of that pivotal moment in the history of the war. James Holland This is a warts-and-all forensic examination of the Allied invasion, offering stacks of insight based on a decade of research. Soldier
