McManus examines, with great intensity and thoroughness, the American experience in the weeks leading up to D-day and on the great day itself. From the buildup in England to the night drops of airborne forces behind German lines and the landings on the beaches at dawn, from the famed figures of Eisenhower, Bradley, and 'Lighting Joe' Collins to the courageous, but little-known privates who fought so bravely and under terrifying conditions, this is the story of the American experience at D-day. What were the battles really like for the Americans at Utah and Omaha? What drove them to fight despite all adversity? How and why did they triumph? Thanks to extensive archival research, and the use of hundreds of firsthand accounts, McManus answers these questions and many more. 521 2 $a Adult. 541 $d 20180123. 650 7 $a Military campaigns. 650 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns $z Normandy. $z Normandy. 650 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z United States. 651 1 $a France $z Normandy. 651 $a United States $x World War, 1939-1945. $x History $x World War, 1939-1945. 651 $a United States $x Army. 700 $a Barrett, Joe, $d 1950- 941 $a 2 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430020839.0 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20181024011903.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=46B6FF16D75311E89F7EB30997128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
