Operation Overlord: The Birth of D-Day

See work: https://openlibrary.org/works/OL478604W

El 6 de junio de 1944, el Día D, ha quedado marcado en la historia como una de las fechas claves de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Un hito logístico y militar en el que participaron todos los ejércitos aliados y que supuso el principio del fin de la maquinaria militar alemana. El desembarco en las playas de Normandía fue un éxito casi perfecto, pero le siguieron tres meses de encarnizada lucha hasta que la defensa alemana colapsó y se pudo liberar París. Seis ejércitos en Normandía es un magistral relato de una de las campañas militares más relevantes de la segunda guerra mundial. John Keegan, uno de los más prestigiosos historiadores militares británicos, introduce al lector en los combates en los que se vieron implicados los seis ejércitos que participaron en la campaña, en las decisiones tácticas de los comandantes y en las experiencias traumáticas a las que se tuvieron que enfrentar los soldados.

An exhaustive, first‑comprehensive account of the 1944 Normandy invasion from D‑Day to the liberation of Paris, detailing the experiences of Allied and German soldiers and the tragic impact on French civilians.

A clear, well‑researched account of Operation Overlord told through the voices of survivors, offering a readable, in‑depth look at the planning and conduct of the Normandy invasion.

The heavy U.S. and British warships poised in the English Channel had eighteen targets on their bombardment list for D-Day morning. The 100-foot promontory known as Pointe du Hoc -- where six big German guns were ensconced -- was number one. General Omar Bradley called knocking out the Nazi defenses at the Pointe the toughest of any task assigned on June 6, 1944. Under the bulldoggish command of Colonel James E. Rudder of Texas, profiled here, these elite forces, "Rudder's Rangers," took control of the fortified cliff. The liberation of Europe was under way. Based upon recently released documents, the first in-depth, anecdotal remembrance of these fearless Army Rangers, is told in tandem with the making of Reagan's two uplifting 1984 speeches, considered by many to be among the best orations he ever gave. - Publisher.
