Publisher's Summary:

Fighting Them on the Beaches tells the story of one of the largest and most meticulously organized seaborne invasions in the history of warfare - the Allied Landings of June Sixth, 1944: D-Day.

As the parachutists and glider troops of the US and British airborne divisions went in on the night of June Fifth, Allied shipping began massing out in the Channel.

As dawn broke on June Sixth, waves of assault craft hit the Normandy beaches. British, American, Canadian, Polish, and free French troops began to stream ashore to storm the defenses of the Atlantic Wall in the teeth of overwhelming enemy firepower. By midnight on D-Day 150,000 Allied troops were ashore and the process of consolidating the beachheads and pushing inland had begun.

Great Book

I have read many books about D-Day and this was one of the better books. I found it easy to follow and there were many pieces of information that I had never heard or read about. I would recommend it to first time readers of a D-Day book because it was easy to follow.

Excellent detail and insight

In depth analysis of British intelligence and false trails. Enigma mentioned but not Tunny.

Good blow by blow account of the landings.

Enjoyable read.
