Sword Beach : D-Day baptism by fire / Max Hastings.
Between 1941 and 1944, the British army contributed relatively little to WWII. On D-Day, that changed - 35,000 British infantrymen, airmen, and special service operatives were sent headfirst into the whitest heat of war, almost overnight. In 'Sword Beach', Max Hastings tells the story of a handful of British soldiers and their critical role in D-Days parachute and seaborne offensive.
