When the Sea Came Alive: An Oral History of D-Day

D-Day is one of history’s greatest military and human triumphs. The surprise landing of over 150,000 Allied troops on the morning of June 6, 1944, is understood to be the moment that ultimately led to the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II. Now, bestselling author and historian Garrett M. Graff explores the full impact of this world-changing event—from the secret creation of landing plans, to the moment the boat doors opened to reveal the beach where men fought for their lives and the future of the free world.

As green technology is fast becoming cleaner and cheaper, reshaping our planet’s future—and our own—has never been more crucial or within our reach.
