A Fresh Look at a Day That Changed History: D-Day

A new book on the invasion of Normandy, ‘When the Sea Came Alive: An Oral History of D-Day,’ recalls stories and recollections from those who were there.

This new book release contains D-Day accounts from both Allied and Axis participants making the important invasion come alive.

The World War II Normandy landings occurred 80 years ago. So important was the success of the invasion to ultimate victory that the generic term for a landing day has attached itself to Operation Overlord. It is remembered as D-Day.

“When the Sea Came Alive: An Oral History of D-Day” by Garrett M. Graff recaps the day of the invasion and the events leading up to it. He tells it using the words of the men and women who participated.
