D-Day: The Invasion of Normandy: from "Great Battles for Boys: WW2 Europe"

In 1944, more than 150,000 Allied soldiers landed on the coast of France—and changed the world.

Risky and daring, the WW2 invasion of Normandy required months of detailed planning. It also needed some clever deceptions, such as building a "fake" invasion force. But when launch day finally arrived, and more than 6000 ships were anchored off the northern coast of France, bad weather threatened to ruin the entire operation.

Among history's most important battles, the D-Day Invasion shows young readers the true meaning of "freedom isn't free." Make sure your sons know the past—so they can change the future.

"My grandson is absolutely soaking up every page of reading!" 5 Stars, Christin

"This is a great book for the younger generation to understand the major actions of WWII in Europe. It covers all the major campaigns and is a good refresher to us older folks. The author provides a list of resources, including movies and websites, at the end of each chapter for further study. I highly recommend this book and its companion "Great Battles for Boys: WW2 in the Pacific." 5 Stars, William E
