Despite the Allies' absolute command of sea and air and vast firepower, it took ten weeks of fierce fighting for them to overpower the tenacious, superbly skilled German army. Forty years later, British war correspondent and military historian Max Hastings shares a dense, dramatic portrait of the Normandy invasion that overturns the traditional legends. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFirst published in 1984, \u003ci\u003eOverlord\u003c\/i\u003e \"will shock those who regard the invasion of Normandy and the subsequent battles as triumphs of American, British, and Canadian military heroism\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e). Instead, Hastings provides a brilliant, controversial perspective on the devastating battles, based on the eyewitness accounts of survivors from both sides, plus a wealth of previously untapped sources and documents. \"A masterly book, rich in insight, shrewd and weighty in judgement...Max Hastings stands in the first rank of writers on modern war\" (\u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMax Hastings is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Korean War\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOverlord\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBomber Command\u003c\/i\u003e and the coauthor of \u003ci\u003eBattle for the Falklands.\u003c\/i\u003e Editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Daily Telegraph, \u003c\/i\u003e he lives in London, England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 14, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52627819168051,"sku":"9781982110772","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/dmo0WWpZL0ZoWmU4OExuczh0S0oxdz09.webp?v=1762099117","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/overlord-d-day-and-the-battle-for-normandy-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
