– _Good Reads_
"That morning, the fleet had sailed. He could not possibly count the ships or even guess the numbers... Wallace stood on the head of the cliff, entranced and exalted by a pageant of splendour which nobody had ever seen before, and nobody, it is certain, will ever see again."
In _Dawn of D-Day_, David Howarth weaves together the testimony of hundreds of eyewitnesses to produce a breathtaking and atmospheric account of the greatest amphibious landing ever attempted. Based on interviews with survivors and accounts by participants, including American paratroopers, British engineers, French civilians, and German soldiers, this enthralling story brings all the drama of June 6, 1944, to life. David Howarth looks not only at the famous incidents but at the full range of D-Day experiences, relating the running battles between parachutists and Germans in the Norman countryside, the torment of being under fire for the first time, the agony on the invasion beaches, the shock of the German defenders, and all the confusion, elation, and horror of battle.
_Dawn of D-Day_ is superb history from the mouths and pens of the men who fought on that first day of the battle for Normandy.
