Voices of D-Day - Stephen E. Ambrose - Bog

- The Story of the Allied Invasion Told by Those Who Were There

Bag om Voices of D-Day

In 1983 the Eisenhower Center at the University of New Orleans began a project to collect on audiotape and videotape the recollections of as many people as possible-civilians as well as soldiers-who were involved in one of the most pivotal events of the century: the June 6, 1944, Allied invasion of Normandy and Hitler's Fortress Europe. Skillfully edited by Ronald J. Drez and first published on the fifty-year anniversary of D-Day, the award-winning Voices of D-Day tells the story of that momentous operation almost entirely through the words of the people who were there. Here are gripping descriptions of tension-filled crossings to Normandy by plane and by sea, and harrowing accounts of the horrors of battle-of planes shot down, ships destroyed, and servicemen killed one after another as they attempted to navigate Normandy Beach. And here, too, are tales of remarkable courage and heroism-of soldiers helping the wounded, and of others persevering in the face of death and prevailing against the longest of odds. Voices of D-Day, told by those who experienced it, makes us feel that we were all there.
