This book tells the story of a thrilling day in human history - June 6, 1944 - from the perspective of an eyewitness. On this day, nearly 160,000 soldiers from 12 different countries set foot on Normandy and launched the largest amphibious landing operation in history - the Normandy Landing - with the German troops stationed on the beach. This day became a turning point in World War II. The author Ryan recreates the decisive moments before and after the Normandy Landing, and uses countless fragments to connect the various stories that took place on the northern coast of France on this day. In addition to the fierce fighting between the Allied and German forces, the center of the story also includes the French underground organizations and ordinary people involved. The author spent several years interviewing more than 1,000 survivors of the Normandy Landing, including senior generals from both the Allied and German forces, and the paratroopers who landed in Normandy before dawn.
