| Zusammenfassung: | "From the New York Times bestselling author of The Only Plane in the Sky and Pulitzer Prize finalist for Watergate comes the most up-to-date and complete account of D-Day--the largest seaborne invasion in history and the moment that secured the Allied victory in World War II. D-Day is one of history's greatest and most unbelievable military and human triumphs. Though the full campaign lasted just over a month, the surprise landing of over 150,000 Allied troops on the morning of June 6, 1944, is understood to be the moment that turned the tide for the Allied forces and ultimately led to the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II. Now, a new book from bestselling author and historian Garrett M. Graff explores the full impact of this world-changing event--from the secret creation of landing plans by top government and military officials and organization of troops, to the moment the boat doors opened to reveal the beach where men fought for their lives and the future of the free world. Fascinating, action-packed, and filled with impressive detail, When the Sea Came Alive captures a human drama like no other, and offers a fitting tribute to the men and women of the Greatest Generation"-- |

Holding the eastern flank -- The walking wounded -- The Battle of La Fière Bridge -- Afternoon for the Germans -- End of D-Day -- Epilogue "From the New York Times bestselling author of The Only Plane in the Sky and Pulitzer Prize finalist for Watergate comes the most up-to-date and complete account of D-Day--the largest seaborne invasion in history and the moment that secured the Allied victory in World War II. D-Day is one of history's greatest and most unbelievable military and human triumphs. Though the full campaign lasted just over a month, the surprise landing of over 150,000 Allied troops on the morning of June 6, 1944, is understood to be the moment that turned the tide for the Allied forces and ultimately led to the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II. Now, a new book from bestselling author and historian Garrett M. Graff explores the full impact of this world-changing event--from the secret creation of landing plans by top government and military officials and organization of troops, to the moment the boat doors opened to reveal the beach where men fought for their lives and the future of the free world. Fascinating, action-packed, and filled with impressive detail, When the Sea Came Alive captures a human drama like no other, and offers a fitting tribute to the men and women of the Greatest Generation"-- Geschichte 1943-1944 gnd rswk-swf Operation Overlord (DE-588)4115412-5 gnd rswk-swf Oral history (DE-588)4115456-3 gnd rswk-swf Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 gnd rswk-swf Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 gnd rswk-swf Normandie (DE-588)4042617-8 gnd rswk-swf World War, 1939-1945 World War, 1939-1945 / Campaigns / France / Normandy / Personal narratives Operation Overlord Normandy (France) / History, Military / 20th century Opération Overlord Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 HISTORY / Wars & Conflicts / World War II / General HISTORY / Military / United States Normandy (France), Attack on, 1944 oral histories (literary works) Personal narratives Oral histories Récits personnels Histoires orales (DE-588)4133254-4 Erlebnisbericht gnd-content Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 g Normandie (DE-588)4042617-8 g Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 s Operation Overlord (DE-588)4115412-5 s Oral history (DE-588)4115456-3 s Geschichte 1943-1944 z DE-604 Äquivalent Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 978-1-6680-2782-0 |
