D-Day: June 6, 1944

The climactic battle of the Second World War Based on oral and written accounts of true events witnessed by men who participated in the Normandy invasion (June 6, 1944), the book constitutes the most complete collection of memoirs ever known and was based on the 1,400 accounts compiled by the Eisenhower Center of American Studies. Then General Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers, when interviewed by Ambrose, declared that the battle of D-Day demonstrated to the world the triumph of democracy over Nazism and fascism. With extraordinarily favorable reviews from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune and San Francisco Chronicle, the work has established itself as the most important work on the subject.
