Description: "Dramatic and historic though the events of D-Day were, they were just the opening round of a much bigger and equally remarkable battle for the whole of Normandy that followed for the next ten weeks. Sixty years on, this collection of first-hand accounts tells the story of D-Day and that subsequent battle, in the words of soldiers and civilians on both sides of the war. There are classic soldiers' accounts from the likes of Rommel and Bradley, together with front-line reports by war correspondents such as Hemingway and Alan Melville."--BOOK JACKET.
