Bookreader Item Preview
x, 289 pages : 24 cm
"This encyclopedia provides detailed entries for everything you ever wanted to know about D-Day, the invasion of Normandy. Organized alphabetically, the entries give descriptions of weapons, equipment, divisions, air and naval units, geography, terminology, personalities, and more. Every Allied division that crossed the English Channel on June 6, 1944, has its own listing, as do the major Axis divisions that fought them. Brief biographies of major military and political leaders on both sides provide a "who's who" of the campaign. The book also includes entries for related popular culture: GI slang, the best movies about D-Day, and major writers such as Stephen Ambrose and Cornelius Ryan. Cross-references make the book easy to use
With hundreds of entries, Brassey's D-Day Encyclopedia is a reference tool for history buffs and for readers who want to know more about World War II's greatest campaign."--Jacket
Includes bibliographical references (pages 275-276) and index
