The most comprehensive and authoritative history of D-Day ever published 'Extraordinary' Andrew Roberts 'Fascinating' Daily Mail 'Magisterial' James Holland ________________ 6 June 1944 4 a.m. Hundreds of boats assemble off the coast of France. By nightfall thousands of the men they carry will be dead. This was D-Day the most important day of the twentieth century. In Sand and Steel one of Britain's leading military historians offers a panoramic new account of the Allied invasion of France. Drawing on a decade of new research Peter Caddick-Adams masterfully recreates what it was like to wade out onto the carnage of Omaha Beach or parachute behind enemy lines in Normandy. He explores the year-long preparations that went into the invasion overturning decades-old assumptions about Allied strategy. And he pays tribute to the remarkable individuals who made D-Day possible - not just soldiers on the beaches but also paratroopers sailors aircrews and women on the Home Front. The result is a compulsively readable account of the greatest battle of the Second World War. It will be the definitive work on D-Day for years to come. ________________ 'A hugely impressive book which makes full use of a lifetime of learning and experience.' Herald 'Peter Caddick-Adams' D-Day must surely go down as the definitive narrative of that pivotal moment in the history of the war.' James Holland 'This is a warts-and-all forensic examination of the Allied invasion offering stacks of insight based on a decade of research.' Soldier
