On June 6, 1944, American and British armies staged the greatest amphibious landing in history. It began Operation Overlord, the battle for the liberation of Europe. Max Hastings, a war correspondant at the time, made a study of D-Day and the battle of Normandy, and his book, far from traditional, overturns a host of national legends.
