"Gripping descriptions of tension-filled crossings to Normandy by plane and by sea, and harrowing accounts of the horrors of battle - of planes shot down, ships destroyed, and servicemen killed one after another as they attempted to navigate Normandy Beach. And here, too, are tales of remarkable courage and heroism - of soldiers helping their wounded, and of of others persevering in the face of death and prevailing against the horrors of battle." |
