This handsome commemorative volume contains hundreds of Allied and German photographs, many never seen before by the general public. Written by the coauthors of Gordon W. Prange's acclaimed bestsellers, At Dawn We Slept and Miracle at Midway, it is in the tradition of their highly successful series of pictorial war chronicles. With text keyed to photos on the same page, Goldstein, Dillon, and Wenger lead the reader through the dramatic experiences of D-Day combatants on both sides, from the invasion's complex preparations, to the furious combat vividly portrayed in the film Saving Private Ryan, to its ultimate result-the beginning of the end for Hitler's Third Reich.
