Descriere magazin:
Published to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the military mission that changed World War II, D-Day Landings: a Travel Guide to Normandy\'s Beaches and Battlegrounds is Bradt\'s new guidebook to visiting beaches, memorials, museums, battlefields and other sites associated with D-Day and the Battle of Normandy (Operation Overlord). A simple-to-follow, portable guide for independent travellers, it includes maps and driving instructions to help visitors go back in time to explore World War II history. Written by two experienced travel writers who, between them, are experts in France and military history, D-Day Landings is designed for visitors who want to see all or part of Normandy. Covering the ground from the D-Day landing beaches (Sword, Juno, Gold, Omaha and Utah) up to the Falaise Gap and Cherbourg, it encompasses both every major site and a host of smaller, less well-known locations - venturing well beyond the coast to include sites associated with the capture of Cherbourg (D+20) and the closing of the Falaise Gap (D+76), which marked the end of the Overlord campaign. Although organised geographically - as befits a travel guide rather than history book - a colour-coded system helps readers understand the historical context by identifying where sites fit into the timeline of the Battle of Normandy and escorting readers through the invasion in a simple, practical format. D-Day Landings aims to enhance the visitor experience by alerting readers to unexpected features such as a \'concrete panzer\' pillbox topped by a tank turret around which Utah Beach Museum was constructed. Quirky snippets and human stories colour the text. Learn how Lord Lovat\'s Commando Piper Bill saw himself as a ballerina or how the Utah Beach landings were accidentally more successful than planned. Children and adults alike will love the \'history-spotter\' tick-boxes, such as ten Advanced Landing Ground site plaques to tick off. Meanwhile, extensive information on American forces in Normandy includes not only all major US sites but also tales of intriguing characters involved. Whether you are a military-history enthusiast, have family who fought in Normandy or are simply visiting northern France on holiday, Bradt\'s D-Day Landings is the guidebook to both plan your trip and take with you.
