The Human Face of D-Day by Keith Nightingale
This unique approach to D-Day combines the author's discussions with veteran and civilian participants in D-Day, his personal reflections on Operation Overlord, and the insights that occur often at the very site of a battle.
Keith’s personal essays are inspired by specific discussions or multiple interviewsTaken together, the cogent human observations of these participants who assisted him further expand and illuminate our depth of understanding of what it must have been like to be pinned down under intense fire and must do something heroic to get out of it. * ARGunners.com *
