Operation "Overlord": 6 June 1944, the largest, most complex invasion in the history of warfare and the most crucial day in the Allies long and painful pursuit of victory in the Second Worlds War.

This is the story of that one day, fifty miles of French coast, and about 200,000 men, told in the words of those who were there, people of every nation, and all ranks, from British, Canadian, American and German soldiers, sailors, and airmen to the men and women of the French Resistance.

These voices from Normandy, woven into the authors' brilliant narrative of the day's events, vividly recreate the triumphs and disasters of that famous day.

Robin Neillands served in 45 Commando Royal Marines during the 1950s. He now works as a journalist and travel writer and has a growing reputation as a military historian. He has published many books on British military history from the Napoleonic era through to the Second World War. His co-author Roderick de Normann also has a military background and several military histories to his credit.
