D Day Omaha Beach Hour by Hour

You have seen the films and read the casualty tables, but you still want to know what it felt like to stand in a landing craft as the ramp dropped below the bluffs at Omaha Beach.

This audiobook puts you there. You start at the planners' map tables and inside the German bunkers overlooking the sand, then ride in with the first waves and stay through the long, desperate hours that followed. A small cast of real, documented men from both sides carries the story, so you come to know them by name. The geography is written into the narration, and a companion PDF of maps and people helps you keep your bearings. Each unabridged chapter runs twenty to thirty minutes and centers on courage, quick thinking and the brotherhood that got small groups of Americans off the beach.

By the final chapter you will understand how the beach was won, one improvised push at a time. Press play and step onto the sand.
