D-Day is a detailed account of the planning and execution of history's greatest amphibious invasion. On June 6, 1944, after years of preparation, Allied paratroopers and glider troops landed in France while a vast fleet put hundreds of thousands more troops ashore on the beaches: Omaha, Utah, Sword, Gold, and Juno. The book tells the stories of the landing on each beach and how the landing forces fought to break out of Normandy and push east, toward Germany itself.
