Remember D-Day: The Plan, the Invasion, Survivor Stories

Ronald J. Drez. National Geographic Society, $17.95 (61pp) ISBN 978-0-7922-6666-2

A companion to Remember Pearl Harbor, Remember D-Day: The Plan, the Invasion, Survivor Stories by Ronald J. Drez recounts the months leading up to and the details of the Allied invasion at Normandy. Though the ""survivor stories"" appear mainly as brief quotations interspersed throughout the narrative, photographs of the young soldiers to which the quotes are attributed often run alongside, lending a personal quality to the text. Timelines, numerous photographs and illustrations contribute to an accessible design, and an introduction by David Eisenhower adds further depth to the volume.
