Overlord: D-Day and the Battle for Normandy by Sir Max Hasting, Michelle Joseph Ltd., 1984
On June 6, 1944, the American and British armies staged the greatest amphibious landing history to being Operation Overlord, the battle for the liberation of Europe. Despite the Allies' absolute command of sea and air and vast firepower, it took ten weeks of fierce fighting for them to overpower the tenacious, superbly skilled German army. Now, forty years later, British war correspondent and military historian, Max Hastings, has drawn on many interviews and newly available documents to construct a dense, dramatic portrait of the Normandy invasion that overturns the traditional legends.
British journalist and historian of war, Hastings has worked as a foreign correspondent for the BBC, editor-in-chief of The Daily Telegraph, and editor of the Evening Standard. He is also the author of thirty books, most significantly histories, which have won several major awards. Hastings currently writes a bimonthly column for Bloomberg Opinion and contributes to The Times and The Sunday Times.
