OVERLORD D-Day and the Invasion of Europe

When the Allied Forces landed on the French coast, they fought against steep odds to turn the tide of WWII. Martin's book details the astonishing amount of planning, equipment, and manpower that went into making D-Day not just a reality, but a success. Johnny Heller's reading deftly covers and connects a variety of topics--from paratroopers to engineers, from rations to tanks. He puts emphasis in all the right places to highlight the most amazing aspects of D-Day. Just three and a half hours long, this audiobook makes a quick, enjoyable "read" for young adult history buffs. J.M.P. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 02]
