Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Filling a massive gap in D-Day literature, marine historian Stephen Fisher provides fresh insight and unrivalled coverage of one of the least well know of the D-Day landings.

Although they are well known, coverage of the action on Sword, Juno and Gold beaches is relatively sparse and overshadowed by the more famous American landing at Omaha. In fact, the capture of all the beaches were events in their own right, full of drama and incident, and in particular, Sword Beach turned out to be crucial in securing the Normandy Landings.

Profile Image for Mr I C Wilson

Excellent narration and narrative.

An important reminder that D Day was an Allied collaboration and that Sword Beach is as noteworthy as Omaha - it’s just that Steven Spielberg didn’t make a movie of Sword. A balanced and factual account of one of Britain’s ‘finest hours’ by men to whom we will always remain in debt for their unsurpassed courage and bravery.
