Medlemsvurdering:
Overgår i dybde og bredde enhver tidligere bok om D-dagen! Første halvdel omhandler de omfattende forberedelene til invasjonen, kanskje den mest interessante delen. Fortellingen om kampene på de fem strendene selve invasjonsdagen viser at det var ingen selvfølge at operasjonen ville lykkes. Det kostet enormt i planlegging, forberdelser, lidelser og død.Hans Christian
