D Day: Rare Photographs From Wartime Archives

This is spectacular photographic record of the D-Day invasion that captures many different aspects of the air, sea and military campaign. A great majority of photographs are unliekly to have been seen by the general public and they have been superbly reproduced directly from original negatives held by national archives in Britain and the USA. Detailed captions describe the action portrayed in each photo and an introduction puts D-Day into its historical perspective. The book follows the invasion as it develops and contains chapters on Preparation, The Landings, Establishing the Beach-head, Moving Inland and Sustaining the Advance.
