Omaha Beach by Joseph Balkoski
In this unforgettable narrative of D-Day, Joseph Balkoski describes the minute-by-minute combat as it unfolded on Omaha Beach, allowing soldiers to speak for themselves as they recall their attempts to maneuver bombers through heavy cloud cover, the claustrophobic terror aboard transports, and the relentless fire that greeted them on the beach. Equal parts oral history and meticulous reconstruction, Omaha Beach is the closest the modern reader can get to experiencing the Normandy landings firsthand.
Joseph Balkoski is, in the words of USA Today, “the top living D-Day historian” and, in the words of the Wall Street Journal, “a true maestro of original D-Day history.” He has written Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, and Beyond the Beachhead, the first in a five-volume history of the 29th Division in World War II. He lives in Baltimore, Maryland.
