On June 6, 1944, the Allied forces launched a massive seaborne invasion in northern France, known as D-Day. The outcome of the Second World War hung in the balance, and if the Allied forces could gain a foothold in northern France, the road to victory would be possible. However, if driven back into the sea, the invasion would be stalled for years.
D-DAY: The Soldiers' Story, by Anthony Horowitz, lays bare the terror of those trapped on both sides in the frontline of Operation Overlord. The book reveals the longest day as never before, drawn in its entirety from the vivid experiences of those who were there. The vast canvas of human bravado reveals the longest day as never before, less as a masterpiece of strategic planning than a day on which thousands of scared young men found themselves staring death in the face.
The book has a wonderful immediacy and vitality, living history in every sense. Anthony Horowitz's writing is fantastic, and Dan Snow's narration is compellingly authentic, revelatory, and beautifully written. The book is a gripping tour de force, and Damien Lewis' review is stirring and unsettling in equal measure. This is history writing at its most powerful.
The invasion of Normandy was a pivotal moment in the Second World War, and D-Day: The Soldiers' Story is a powerful testament to the bravery and sacrifice of those who took part in it. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in military history, and it provides a unique perspective on one of the most significant events of the 20th century.
