What happens in between is covered from every perspective: the high command, the enlisted ranks, the French civilians, the German defenders, and Allied attackers by land, sea and air.
Drawing on more than 1400500 interviews and oral histories, the book looks at the individuals involved and their experiences rather than units.
Ambrose reveals how the original plans for the invasion were abandoned, and how ordinary soldiers and officers acted on their own initiative.
Moving from Ike's level to that of a French child, from Bradley to an American paratrooper, from Montgomery to a British private, from Rommel to a German sergeant at the point of the attack, the book tells stories from the people who were there.
D-Day is above all the epic story of men at the most demanding moment of their existence, when the horrors, complexities, and triumphs of life are laid bare. Ambrose portrays the faces of courage and heroism, fear and determination -- what Eisenhower called "the fury of an aroused democracy" that shaped the victory of the citizen soldiers whom Hitler had disparaged.
