Peter Caddick-Adams' account of the Allied invasion of France in June 1944 matches the monumental achievement of his book on the Battle of the Bulge, Snow and Steel, which Richard Overy has called the "standard history of this climactic confrontation in the West". Sand and Steel gives us D-Day, arguably the greatest and most consequential military operation of modern times, beginning with the years of painstaking and costly preparation, through to the pitched battles fought along France's northern coast, from Omaha Beach to the Falaise and the push east to Strasbourg.

The Allied invasion of Europe involved mind-boggling logistics, including orchestrating the largest flotilla of ships ever assembled. Its strategic and psychological demands stretched the Allies to their limits, testing the strengths of the bonds of Anglo-American leadership. Drawing on firsthand battlefield research, personal testimony and interviews, and a commanding grasp of all the archives and literature, Caddick-Adams' gripping book, published on the 75th anniversary of the events, does Operations Overlord and Neptune full justice.

I loved the detail. I will undoubtedly listen again with a book of relevant maps at hand.

Great book

Of all the many WW2 history's I have now read, I have little doubt that more time and effort went into researching this volume. Well Done! Worth the 37 hours.

Well Researched and thought out

The author covers what I expected to be familiar territory in a refreshing, thoughtful and incredibly detailed manner. The narrative and the narration are really first class and, no matter how many times you’ve read about D-Day, this is a must read. You’ll quickly notice this is not only a smashing history, it’s a tribute to all the participants.

A wonderful history!

Monumental Achievement

I’m familiar with several excellent historians on this subject, but I can think of no equal to the depth of detail and thoroughgoing analysis provided in this account. Highest possible recommendation!

Outstanding Detail and Analysis!
