In Dawn of D-Day David Howarth weaves together the testimony of hundreds of eye-witnesses and has produced a breath-taking and atmospheric account of the greatest amphibious landing ever attempted. Based on interviews with survivors and accounts by participants, including America paratroopers, British engineers, French civilians and German soldiers, this enthralling story brings all the drama of 6th June 1944 to life. David Howarth looks not only at the famous incidents but at the full range of D-Day experiences, relating the running battles between parachutists and Germans in the Norman countryside, the torment of being under fire for the first time, the agony on the invasion beaches, the shock of the German defenders and all the confusion, elation and horror of battle. Dawn of D-Day is superb history from the mouths and pens of the men who fought on that first day of the battle for Normandy. About the Author A British naval officer, boat-builder, historian and author, David Howarth was a war correspondent for the BBC at the start of the Second World War. He began writing books in 1951 and earned critical acclaim for We Die Alone, Trafalgar, The Voyage of the Armada and Waterloo: A Near Run Thing. He died in 1991. All profits from the Dawn of D-Day will go towards the Royal British Legion's work in supporting the Armed Forces community.
