by Jérémie Halais, 112 pages, english version.

"Forever engraved in the collective memory, 6 June 1944 was a major date and a milestone of the Second World War. Yet, the story of the Normandy Landings began well before D-Day, over diplomatic interallied conferences and through the meticulous preparation for what was to be codenamed Operation Overlord. And it continued well beyond the date that was to mark the prelude to the long and difficult Battle of Normandy.

Relying on the latest research methods, The Key Events of the Normandy Landings and the Battle of Normandy invites readers to discover – or rediscover – the history of this military event, via a totally original approach. Associating a clear summary, suitable for all readers, and a wealth of infographic material, this work unveils, not only around 65 maps and plans, but also a wealth of diagrams and data, together with original illustrations."
