D-Day


D-Day was one of the biggest military operations ever to take place in the history of mankind. It was the day on which the United States would take its first step into Europe, in an attempt to liberate it from Nazi hands. This day, and many after, was no walk in the park, as portrayed by Stephen E. Ambrose's book, D-Day June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of World War II.

From the start of the book, Ambrose does not let down on the excitement, the courage, and the horror that many of the men had to endure during that gruesome day. In the beginning of the book, Ambrose talks about the massive amount of preparation and careful planning that had into this extraordinary day in Normandy.

I recommend this book to those people who like to know about the wars in past specially about the world war 2 which United State took its first step into Europe.
