D-Day: By Those Who Were There
Edited by Peter Liddle
Drawing upon a new international archive of the Second World War,
the support of veterans world-wide and from archives overseas, the
author uses previously unpublished letters, diaries, photographs and
reminiscences to tell the story of D Day in a way which brings the
reader closer to the actual experience. from an aerial, naval and land
perspective the events of D Day are captured superbly in wartime
contemporary and retrospective documentation.
Each of the beaches is fully represented. American, Canadian and
British testimony is supported by new, compelling, German material.
Appropriately the RAF and Merchant Navy experience appear as do
the contemporary and retrospective reactions of women ‘in the know’
and those whom knew from ‘unofficial sources’ of the immediate
imminence of the assault.
The reader will share in each stage of the day from the experience of
paratroops and glider-borne troops to crossing the Channel by sea
and at the landings on each beach. The book is profusely illustrated
with previously unpublished photographs ad facsimile documentation
and provides a treasure-trove of evidence on the 60th anniversary of
6th June 1944.
Hardcover, 6 1/2 x 9/14, 288 pages, illustrated throughout.
