D-Day
Library Binding
(Raintree Sept. 1, 2002)
On June 6, 1944, thousands of soldiers waded ashore on to the beaches of Normandy in France. Their mission? To beat back the German army and liberate the Nazi-occupied countries of western Europe. The soldiers knew the risks-- German troops were waiting to ambush them as they landed, the beaches and shallows were mined, and hidden snipers could pick them off at any time... But for most of the soldiers, the alternative-- the inevitable onward march of Nazism-- seemed far worse. The story of D-Day is a tale of Allied cooperation and extraordinary human courage. And what was the outcome of the invasion? Did it turn the tide of World War II, or end in disaster?
