Featuring stunning illustrations from Keith Burns, bringing the story to life in vivid detail

Why did the Allies attack on D-Day?
How did the Allies pick Normandy as a target?
What was Operation Overload, the second front against the Nazis?

JUNE 6 1944

D-Day was a deciding conflict in World War II. But the invasion was not a straightforward attack.

From feeding Nazi spies false information on the attack, to developing new technology like the Mulberry harbours, D-Day changed the course of the War for good.

THE LARGEST SEABORNE INVASION IN HISTORY

Written by historian, author and broadcaster James Holland, The Battle for Normandy is an essential introduction to the naval invasion that began the liberation of Western Europe from the Nazis.
