Description Seventy-five years have passed since D-Day, the greatest seaborne invasion in history.
His books - which include White Gold, Paradise Lost and Russian Roulette - have been tran.
He is the internationally bestselling author of eleven works of narrative history, including Churchill\'s Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and Nathaniel\'s Nutmeg.
About the author Giles Milton is a writer and historian.
It is drawn in its entirety from the raw, unvarnished experiences of those who were there.
This vast canvas of human bravado reveals \'the longest day\' as never before - less as a masterpiece of strategic planning than a day onwhich thousands of scared young men found themselves staring death in the face.
It also gives voice to those who have hitherto remained unheard - the French butcher\'s daughter, the Panzer Commander\'s wife, the chauffeur to the General Staff.
From the military architects at Supreme Headquarters to the young schoolboy in the Wehrmacht\'s bunkers, Soldier, Sailor, Frogman, Spy, Airman, Gangster, Kill or Die lays bare the absolute terror of those trapped in the front line of Operation Overlord.
Giles Milton\'s bold new history narrates the day\'s events through the tales of survivors from all sides: the teenage Allied conscript, the crack German defender, the French resistance fighter.
This authentic human story - Allied, German, French - has never fully been told.
An epic battle that involved 156, 000 men, 7, 000 ships and 20, 000 armoured vehicles, the desperate struggle that unfolded on 6 June 1944 was, above all, a story of individual heroics - of men who were driven to keep fighting until the German defences were smashed and the precarious beachheads secured.
But if the Allies could be driven back into the sea, the invasion would be stalled for years, perhaps forever.
If Allied forces succeeded in gaining a foothold in northern France, the road to victory would be open.
The outcome of the Second World War hung in the balance on that chill June morning.
