Normandy '44 by James Holland
D-Day and the Battle for France
An immersive, day-by-day narrative of the 1944 Allied invasion of Normandy and the ensuing six-week campaign, drawing on archival material and eyewitness testimony to meld tactical detail with human stories; it traces the planning and deception that set the landings in motion, the airborne and amphibious assaults on the beaches, the grinding hedgerow fighting and breakout operations that followed, and the German responses and command failures, while assessing the campaign’s costs, mistakes and strategic consequences for the wider war.
