Neptune: The Allied Invasion of Europe and the D-Day Landings

In the early hours of June 6, 1944, 160,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy and began the push to liberate Western Europe from Axis control. One of the greatest naval historians of our time sheds light on the remarkable but little-known naval arm of the invasion—Operation Neptune—the largest seaborne military assault in history.

Craig L. Symonds is a leading naval historian and Professor Emeritus at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. His newest book is Neptune: The Allied Invasion of Europe and the D-Day Landings.
