THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER – REISSUED WITH A NEW FOREWORD FOR THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY
‘Magnificent, vivid, moving, superb’ Max Hastings, Sunday Times

This is the closest you will ever get to war – the taste, the smell, the noise and the fear
The Normandy Landings that took place on D-Day involved by far the largest invasion fleet ever known. The scale of the undertaking was awesome and what followed was some of the most cunning and ferocious fighting of the war. As casualties mounted, so too did the tensions between the principal commanders on both sides. Meanwhile, French civilians caught in the middle of these battlefields or under Allied bombing endured terrible suffering. Even the joys of Liberation had their darker side.
Antony Beevor’s inimitably gripping narrative conveys the true experience of war. He lands the reader on the beach alongside the heroes whose stories he so masterfully renders in their full terrifying glory.

‘D-Day‘s phenomenal success is both understandable and justified’ James Holland
‘D-Day is a triumph . . . on almost every page there’s some little detail that sticks in the mind or tweaks the heart. This is a terrific, inspiring, heart-breaking book’ Sam Leith, Daily Mail
