? My name is Kinsey Millhone. I?m a private investigator... female, single & self-employed, with a constitutional inability to work for anyone else. I?m a purist when it comes to justice, but I?ll lie at the drop of a hat. Inconsistency has never troubled me... ? It was late October, the day before Halloween. He introduced himself as Alvin Limardo. The job he hired Kinsey to do seemed easy enough... until his cheque bounced. His real name was Dagett. John Dagett. Ex-con. Inveterate liar. Chronic drunk. & dead. The cops called it an accident ? death by drowning. Kinsey wasn?t so sure. The man, it seemed, had a lot of enemies... ? Heart-pounding, totally mesmerizing suspense?

Infantry Divisions led the assault on Omaha Beach, the most strongly defended of the all invasion beaches. Supporting Allied bombers had mostly missed their targets, the offshore naval bombardment was hampered by poor visibility, & many elements of the first assault waves were swamped or sank, including amphibious tanks. ...

The Normandy Landings that took place on D-Day involved by far the largest invasion fleet ever known. The scale of the undertaking was simply awesome. What followed them was some of the most cunning & ferocious fighting of the war, at times as savage as anything seen on the Eastern Front. ...

D-Day, the largest amphibious invasion in history, took place on 6 June 1944. The subsequent battle of Normandy involved over a million men, & helped seal the fate of The Third Reich.

This is a graphic account of the planning & execution of Operation Overlord, as well as the campaign which effectively destroyed the German forces in France, opening the way for the Allied advance.

Including a wealth of superb photographs & maps, the book also contains 30 facsimile items of rare memorabilia, including diaries, letters & memos.

Witness momentous World War Two events! We've delved into the archives of the famous imperial War Museum in London to bring you the story of the conquest of Europe as it was actually reported in the cinemas of the day. Filmed by frontline cameramen, many of whom became casualties themselves, these newsreels are a fascinating record of how World War Two was fought, & how the war was being depicted on the home front. ...

Tank Commander Sgt Trevor Greenwood of C Squadron, the 9th Royal Tank Regiment, sailed for France in June 1944 as part of the Allied invasion of Normandy.

From D-Day until April 1945, he kept a daily diary of his experiences of the final push through France & into Germany, often writing in secret & in terrible conditions. Under fire, outgunned & facing a bitter winter, he never loses his moral compass or his sense of humour
- finding time to brew tea & maintain morale with characterful British reserve.

He writes candidly of his frustration & despair of seeing Bomber Command mistakenly bomb Allied lines near Caen (August 1944), the liberation of Le Havre (September 1944), the fighting around Roosendaal, Holland (October 1944), the reception of soldiers by the Dutch families on whom they were billeted (December 1944), & concludes with mopping up operations in northern Germany (April 1945). His astonishing diary has left us a unique record of the war in Europe from the rarely-seen perspective of an ordinary soldier.

An accompanying essay about the tank battles of Normandy by Duxford Museums tank expert provide added value.
