Dday David Howarth First Edition The Sixth Of June 1944

The product is a first edition book titled "The Sixth Of June 1944" by David Howarth, focusing on the historic D-Day event. This collectible book holds significance for its rarity as a first edition, adding to its value for collectors and enthusiasts of historical literature. With a specific focus on the pivotal event of D-Day, this book offers a unique perspective and insights into a significant moment in World War II history. This is not a military textbook. Military histories of battles deal with military units, and the way their generals maneuvered them; they do not usually tell what individual soldiers saw or did, or what they thought or felt or feared. But this is the aspect of battles which interests me-not only the actions and opinions of the generals who planned them, but also those of the soldiers and junior officers who had to fight them. There are already several technical military works about the invasion of Normandy, and several generals' memoirs. I have tried simply to give an impression of the experience of the men who landed in the night and dawn of D Day-an impression of what it was like to be dropped from the sky that morning, or pitched ashore from a landing craft on a hostile beach.
