Operation OVERLORD June 1944 was the greatest seaborne invasion, indeed the greatest military endeavour, of all time. A unique collection of letters and accounts from all ranks and regiments, this book champions the ordinary men who made it possible.

Autor

Philip Warner (1914-2000) enlisted in the Royal Corps of Signals after graduating from St Catherine's, Cambridge in 1939. He fought in Malaya and spent 1,100 days as 'a guest of the Emperor' in Changi and on the Railway of Death, an experience he never discussed. He was a legendary figure to generations of cadets during his thirty years as a Senior Lecturer at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. Yet he will arguably be best remembered for his contribution of more than 2,000 obituaries of prominent army figures to The Daily Telegraph.
