About the book
\"Glorious, horrifying... D-Day is a vibrant work of history that honors the sacrifice of tens of thousands of men and women.\"—Time
Renowned historian Antony Beevor, author of Stalingrad and The Battle of Arnhem, and the man who \"single-handedly transformed the reputation of military history\" (The Guardian) presents the first major account in more than twenty years of the Normandy invasion and the liberation of Paris.
