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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns $z Normandy $z Normandy $v Personal narratives. 650 0 $a Operation Overlord. 651 0 $a Normandy (France) $x History, Military, $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Wars & Conflicts / World War II / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240611031604.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CEC7D38827B811EF9FBFAF4235ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
