June 6, 1944 is remembered as a landmark date, a turning point in the Second World War. Yet the story of the D-Day landings began long before, with the inter-allied diplomatic conferences and the preparations for Operation Overlord. It also goes far beyond that, as June 6 was only the prelude to the long and difficult battle of Normandy.
Based on the latest advances in research, L'Essentiel du Débarquement et de la bataille de Normandie invites readers to discover - or rediscover - the history of this military event through an unprecedented approach. Combining a clear, accessible summary with a wealth of computer graphics, this book reveals some 65 maps and plans, as well as numerous diagrams, data and original illustrations.
