When the Sea Came Alive

An Oral History of D-Day

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

From hand-scrawled letters to prize-winning military histories, Garrett M Graff scoured through more than 5,000 documents to compile this visceral account of D-Day. Beginning with the planning and mobilization of Operation Overlord by historic figures, then honing in on the ordinary men who found themselves at the centre of an unimaginable drama, his comprehensive volume uses the words of 700 participants to present the complexities of the action. Slightly off-mint and felt-tip mark on upper or lower trimmed edge.
