Paperback. English. Publisher: Pocket Books. 2002. In fair/good condition. On the basis of 1,400 oral histories from the men who were there, bestselling author and World War II historian Stephen E. Ambrose reveals for the first time anywhere that the intricate plan for the invasion of France in June 1944 had to be abandoned before the first shot was fired. The true story of D-Day, as Ambrose relates it, is about the citizen soldiers - junior officers and enlisted men - taking the initiative to act on their own to break through Hitler's Atlantic Wall when they realised that nothing was as they had been told it would be. D-DAY is the brilliant, no holds barred, telling of the battles of Omaha and Utah beaches. Ambrose relives the epic victory of democracy on the most important day of the twentieth century.

 VICTORY IN EUROPE.....D-DAY TO V-E DAY: FIRST TIME IN FULL COLOUR VICTORY IN EUROPE IS THE FIRST AND ONLY ALL-COLOUR PORTRAYAL OF THE MOMENTOUS EVENTS THAT OCCURRED IN EUROPE BETWEEN D-DAY IN 1944 AND V-E DAY IN 1945. A LANDMARK IN THE HISTORY OF MILITARY PUBLISHING, THESE UNIQUE PHOTOGRAPHS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM RECENTLY DISCOVERED FILM MADE DURING THE LAST YEAR OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR BY THE AWARD-WINNING HOLLYWOOD DIRECTOR, GEORGE STEVENS. EARLY IN 1944 STEVENS WAS ASKED BY GENERAL EISENHOWER TO ORGANIZE A FILM UNIT WHITCH WOULD TRAVEL WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES DURING THE LANDINGS IN FRANCE AND FOLLOW THEIR CAMPAIGN IN EUROPE. IN ADDITION TO THE UNIT'S OFFICIAL COVERAGE OF THE WAR, STEVENS RECORDED THESE HISTORIC EVENTS HIMSELF ON COLOUR FILM, WHICH WAS THEN SENT TO CALIFORNIA WHERE IT REMAINED FOR NEARLY FORTY YEARS. VICTORY IN EUROPE IS INTRODUCED BY GEORGE STEVENS, Jr. WHO EXPLAINS HOW HIS FATHER MADE THE FILM AND TELLS THE STORY OF ITS REDISCOVERY. ACCOMPANIED BY AN AUTHORITATIVE COMMENTARY BY BRITAIN'S LEADING WAR HISTORIAN MAX HASTINGS, AND NINE INFORMATIVE MAPS, THESE PICTURES TELL THE STORY OF THE STRUGGLE FOR EUROPE; FROM D-DAY AND THE GREATEST NAVAL INVASION IN HISTORY TO THE LIBERATION OF PARIS, FROM THE ARDENNES AND THE BATTLE OF A MILLION TOOPS TO THE HORROR OF THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND THE FINAL COLLAPSE OF THE NAZI REGIME. AFTER SIX YEARS, VICTORY WAS FINALLY WON IN EUROPE.

1960 hardcover with dust jacket and 256 pages in good secondhand condition. Browning to all pages edges. 6 June, 1944. 156,000 troops from 12 different countries, 11,000 aircraft, 7,000 naval vessels, 24 hours. D-Day - the beginning of the Allied invasion of Hitler's formidable 'Fortress Europe' - was the largest amphibious invasion in history. There has never been a battle like it, before or since. But beyond the statistics and over sixty years on, what is it about the events of D-Day that remain so compelling? The courage of the men who fought and died on the beaches of France? The sheer boldness of the invasion plan? Or the fact that this, Rommel's 'longest day', heralded the beginning of the end of World War II. One of the defining battles of the war, D-Day is scored into the imagination as the moment when the darkness of the Third Reich began to be swept away. This is the story of D-Day, told through the voices of over 1,000 survivors - from high-ranking Allied and German officers, to the paratroopers who landed in Normandy before dawn, the infantry who struggled ashore and the German troops who defended the coast.Cornelius Ryan captures the horror and the glory of D-Day, relating in emotive and compelling detail the years of inspired tactical planning that led up to the invasion, its epic implementation and every stroke of luck and individual act of heroism that would later define the battle. In the words of its author, The Longest Day is a story not of war, but of the courage of man.
