With the aid of specially commissioned maps, "D-Day: The Longest Day. 6 June 1944" describes the dramatic history of the first 24 hours of the Normandy landings and explains in detail the events that occurred in each landing zone. From planning and intelligence gathering to the first glider landings, Enigma codes, Mulberry Harbours and taking the Pointe du Hoc, this is an expert account of an assault that, if it had failed, would have altered the course of the war.
