Nick Hewitt has achieved the impossible. He has re-told the
story of D-Day in a way that transforms our understanding of
that Day of Days. Dan Snow A superb account. Simon
Heffer, Telegraph, Best History Books 2024 The first account of
the Allied navies' vital contribution to the success of the D-Day
landings and the Normandy campaign The Allied liberation of
Nazi-occupied Europe is one of the most widely recognised
events of modern history. The assault phase, Operation
Neptune, began with the D-Day landings in Normandy one of
the most complex amphibious operations in history, involving
7,000 ships and nearly 200,000 men. But despite this immense
effort, the wider naval campaign has been broadly forgotten.
Nick Hewitt draws on fascinating new material to describe the
violent sea battle which mirrored the fighting on land, and the
complex campaign at sea which enabled the Allied assault.
Aboard ships ranging from frail plywood landing craft to sleek
destroyers, sailors were active combatants in the operation of
June 1944, and had worked tirelessly to secure the Seine Bay
in the months preceding it. They fought battles against German
submarines, aircraft, and warships, and maintained careful
watch to keep control of the English Channel. Hewitt recounts
these sailors' stories for the first time and shows how, without
their efforts, D-Day would have failed.
