Author Description

The international success of the paperback edition of this work has led to a new edition of the original massively illustrated edition. Hundreds of illustrations, both photographs and color paintings by war artists, cover the uniforms, vehicle markings, and operations of the Normandy campaign. Under the editorship of Bernard Nalty, professional military historians cover the D-Day operations in a systematic fashion, with chapters devoted to each of the major operational challenges and aspects of the campaign, interspersed with personal narratives to capture the human dimension of this massive undertaking.
