Story4.5 out of 5 stars 336
Seventy years ago, more than 6000 Allied ships carried more than a million soldiers across the English Channel to a 50-mile-wide strip of the Normandy coast in German-occupied France. It was the greatest sea-borne assault in human history. The code names given to the beaches where the ships landed the soldiers have become immortal: Gold, Juno, Sword, Utah, and especially Omaha, the scene of almost unimaginable human tragedy.

Most accounts of Neptune focus on the brave soldiers on Normandy beach on D-day. But the invasion depended on much more than bravery - it also depended on a lot of planning and logistics preparations. This book is an indispensable guide to this lesser-known part of the story.
