Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-06 00:00:00 Brett Jarvis A very good book. This was the first book about "D-DAY" that I read while a student in elementary school almost 40 years ago.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-10-15 00:00:00 Rhonda Smith In the book "The story of D-Day" it shows what all happened during d-day and leading up to it. Everybody was sad and it was a very hard war to be in. The days leading up the weather was terrible and they needed the perfect weather to arrive on the beach. A lot of the boats with the men and equipment collapsed under the waves. The days of the attack needed to be a full moon and clear skies so they could see during the invasion. The boat was called a "LCVP" which carried either men and equipment, or a tank or a land vehicle. Unfortunately under the pressure of the waves about half of the LCVP's sank. There were multiple "waves" of the attack and the front line would be the worst. Most of the troops on the frontline got shot while getting off the boat because they couldn't really defend themselves. It's a good book on describing d day and if your into war then I would recommended reading it.
