It was an invasion of unprecedented scale and magnitude, with landings in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy being of limited scope by comparison. If these landings had failed, it would not have been a complete disaster, but Normandy heralded the long-awaited Second Front. \"D-Day 1944: The Making of Victory\" is a book that explores the great feats of unique problem-solving that enabled the success of such an important invasion. Military historian Anthony Tucker-Jones brings his expert eye to bear on the D-Day landings and subsequent Normandy campaign. He reassesses the technical ingenuity required through the eyes of those who fought there and vividly reveals how each side managed, whether dealing with the challenges of crossing the Channel safely or in defense of the French coast. Including first-hand accounts, this book places the reader in the thick of the action. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781803994444\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: New ed\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anthony Tucker-Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46004584251642,"sku":"9781803994444","price":14.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1715972810762_book.jpg?v=1716037851","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/dday-1944-the-making-of-victory-9781803994444","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
