Annapolis: Naval Inst Pr, 1994. First edition. Hard cover in dust jacket. Published Annapolis: Naval Inst Pr., 1994, first printing. 4to., 9" x 11 1/4", xii+312pp., illustrated with over 250 photographs. Purple cloth with gilt titles. "To provide a vivid, memorable account of the June 1944 Allied assault on Normandy, Paul Stillwell has selected four dozen firsthand recollections of the participants, illustrated with some 250 photographs, many from private collections. Taken from interviews he and other oral historians have conducted, the recollections range from those of admirals in command to frontline soldiers and capture the human side of the story from all perspectives. The drama, sense of sacrifice, and impact on individuals are realized through the reminiscences of naval reservist Douglas Fairbanks Jr., former Brooklyn Dodger Rex Barney, and Medal of Honor recipient Vice Adm. John D. Bulkeley, USN (Ret.), who commanded the minesweepers that cleared the sea-lanes to the Normandy beaches, and a host of other participants." Near fine in near fine dust jacket. . 1st. Hard. Near Fine/Near Fine. 4to.
