This fresh look at D-Day--one of World War II's pivotal battles--is available in time for its 70th anniversary in June 2014. The author draws on original research, including recently discovered German artillery maps, and offers well-supported conclusions that are sure to spark debate.

  • Explains why the U.S. Army suffered enormous casualties on Omaha Beach
  • Focuses on Erwin Rommel, the Desert Fox, who oversaw German defenses in Normandy
  • Covers little-known aspects such as the German patrols tasked with shooting down the pigeons the French Resistance used to send messages to the Allies
