Synopsis
This enhanced ebook contains scores of fascinating additional material, including astonishing black & white and colour footage taken at the time of the events:
- 26 film clips embedded into the text
- Video introduction by Antony Beevor
- Rarely seen original NBC and Universal newsreels
- Rare colour footage shot by the journalist Jack Lieb, who worked for the newsreel company News of the Day
- Video of Allied commanders, paratroopers in action, the Normandy landings, firefights in the deadly bocage hedgerows and in bombed-out towns, Allied bombing runs, the liberation of Paris, and much more
- The original NBC Radio broadcasts announcing the D-Day invasion
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.
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. The war in northern France marked not just a generation but the whole of the post-war world, profoundly influencing relations between America and Europe.
Making use of overlooked and new material from over thirty archives in half a dozen countries, D-Day is the most vivid and well-researched account yet of the battle of Normandy. As with Stalingrad and Berlin, Antony Beevor's gripping narrative conveys the true experience of war.
