Soldier, sailor, frogman, spy, airman, gangster, kill or die : how the Allies won on D-day / Giles Milton. by Milton, Giles, author. New York : Henry Holt and Company, 2018. Subjects Operation Overlord.   World War, 1939-1945 -- Campaigns -- France -- Normandy.   World War, 1939-1945 -- Personal narratives.   Normandy (France) -- History, Military -- 20th century. ISBN:  9781250134929 (hardcover) : 1250134927 (hardcover) : Description:  xiv, 486 pages : illustrations, maps ; 25 cm Edition:  First edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  "An epic battle that involved 156,000 Allied men, 7,000 ships, and 20,000 armored vehicles fighting against the might of the German war machine, D-Day was, above all, a tale of individual heroics--of men who were driven to keep fighting until the German defenses were smashed and the precarious beachheads secured. This authentic human story--Allied, French, German--has never been fully told. Giles Milton's bold new history narrates the events of June 6, 1944, through the tales of survivors from all sides: the teenage Allied conscript, the crack German defender, the French resistance fighter. From the military architects at Supreme Headquarters to the young schoolboy in the Wehrmacht's bunkers, [this book] lays bare the absolute terror of those trapped on the front line of D-Day. It also gives voice to those who have hitherto remained unheard--the French butcher's daughter, the panzer commander's wife, the chauffeur to the general staff. This vast canvas of human bravado reveals 'the longest day' as never before--less as a masterpiece of strategic planning than a day on which thousands of scared young men found themselves staring death in the face. It is drawn in its entirety from the raw, unvarnished experiences of those who were there."--Dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.54214 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54214 Milton Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54214 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction 940.54214 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54214 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54214 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54214 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
