Although it took a multinational coalition to conduct World War IIs amphibious D-Day landings  the U.S. military made a major contribution to the operation that created mighty American legends and unforgettable heroes. In The Americans on D-Day: A Photographic History of the Normandy Invasion  WWI historian Martin K. A. Morgan presents 450 of the most compelling and dramatic photographs captured in northern France during the first day and week of its liberation. With eight chapters of place-setting author introductions  riveting period imagery  and highly detailed explanatory captions  Morgan offers anyone interested in D-Day a fresh look at a campaign that was fought seven decades ago  yet remains the object of unwavering interest to this day. While some of these images are familiar  they have been treated anonymously for far too long and havent been placed within the proper context of time or place. Many others have never been published before. Together  these photographs reveal minute details about weapons  uniforms  and equipment  while simultaneously narrating an intimate human story of triumph  tragedy  and sacrifice. From Omaha Beach to Utah  from Sainte-Mre-glise to Pointe du Hoc  The Americans on D-Day is a striking visual record of the epic air  sea  and land battle that was the Normandy invasion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45529539313717,"sku":"ByrdShop_0760346208","price":349.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780760346204.jpg?v=1780936962","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-americans-on-dday-a-photographic-history-of-the-normandy-invasion-9780760346204","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
