The Allied landings in Normandy on 6 June 1944 constituted the largest seaborne assault in history and changed the course of both the Second World War and the twentieth century.
While the story of the D-Day landings has been told many times, this is the first to reveal the role that human error, political infighting, deception and double agents played in the crucial ten days leading up to the invasion.
Based primarily on unpublished diaries and letters, Ten Days to D-Day tells the story through the eyes of ten individuals caught up in the drama: men and women, civilians and soldiers, secret agents and political prisoners.
None knew that the landings would succeed.
This book describes in gripping detail the suspenseful preparations the individuals made during the excruciating wait for the day that could have taken a fatefully different turn.
Ten Days to D-Day is an immersive and hugely engaging piece of writing, which tells the truth but reads like a thriller. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in twentieth-century or military history.
