Author Alex Kershaw has written a very good book about the men of the first wave who landed on the shores of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Kershaw describes the paratroopers who were dropped behind German lines on the night of June 5th. It was their job to capture numerous bridges to prevent reinforcements by the Germans. These men fought bravely and ferociously to achieve their objectives. Kershaw also describes the day of June 6th, when the American, British, and Canadian forces landed on the beaches of Normandy. The reader is put inside a landing craft as it makes its way towards the beach, while the men fight against their own feelings of terror and anticipation of finally fighting the enemy. Utilizing quotes from the men who actually did the fighting, Kershaw gives the reader a good picture of what the first few hours were like at Normandy. This book is well-written and provides good basic information on the first few hours of the D-Day invasion. There are also mentions of later battles, including Market Garden, the Bulge, and Operation Varsity. Well worth the read.
