About This Item
London: Orion Publishing Group, 2002., 2002. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. John Kalbian, photos. Squarish quarto, fine in near fine gold pictorial dj. Giftable. color frontis map, color/bw photos, appendix, biblio, index. This is a profusely illustrated, minute-by-minute account of the D-Day landings-the greatest amphibious assault ever staged: two years of planning, some 7000 ships, nearly a quarter-million sailors and fighting men, backed by 17, 000 paratroopers and an aerial umbrella of 3000 planes. More than a military history, this album is a taut account of events complemented by contemporary eye-witness testimony, documents, reports, dramatic images, and detailed maps. Here are the words and memories of participants from generals Bradley and Montgomery to fighter pilots, landing craft skippers, and the U.S. Rangers assigned to scale the 100-foot cliffs of Pointe du Hoc. 224 pgs.
