This title explores the most momentous turning-point of World War II. Compiled from contemporary letters and diaries, "Voices from D-Day" features stunningly evocative first-hand accounts of the Normandy landings, from both sides of the battle. Here, you will find the voices of the great military planners, Churchill, Paton and Eisenhower, alongside tales from the ordinary soldiers under fire and the French people watching the invasion. It also features material from international sources, including the Eisenhower Centre in America, and the Imperial War Museum and Portsmouth D-Day Museum in the UK.
