About This Item
Gollancz,, 1960. 8vo., First Edition, with 28 plates on 16 and coloured endpaper maps, top and fore-edges lightly dust-soiled as often; red cloth, gilt back, a remarkably bright, clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper. Includes a good bibliography. The dustwrapper is unusual in that the publisher's blurb occupies the whole of the inner surface. Compiled from many participants' accounts, this is still the finest one-volume account of D-Day. It is the basis of Ken Annakin's well-known feature film (1962) starring John Wayne, Kenneth More and a host of other stars. INCREASINGLY ELUSIVE IN ANYTHING LIKE THIS CONDITION. Enser, p.292.
