D-Day is a vibrant and evocative graphic novel exploring the
events of the pivotal Normandy Landings from the perspective of the
soldiers on the ground.
June 6, 1944: a vast armada stands off the coast of Normandy; in the
pre-dawn gloom gliders carrying British airborne troops approach their
target. The first shots are about to be fired in "the Great Crusade" to
free Europe from Nazi occupation and thousands of troops will fight
their way ashore in the teeth of deadly machine-gun and artillery fire
from the German defenders. D-Day is about to begin.
The Normandy landings are brought alive in this electrifying graphic
novel that tells the story of that Longest Day through the eyes of the
men who were there. Discover an epic struggle as the Allies sought to
overwhelm the German defenders by land, sea, and air, who in turn
battled desperately to drive the invasion back into the sea. Covering
the full range of events from the earliest airborne assault through the
struggle on the beaches and the desperate effort to establish a
bridgehead inland, D-Day blends an authentic historical narrative with
master illustration to reveal the full story of the day that changed the
course of World War II.
