First published in 1944, this book by former USNF Lieutenant John Mason Brown is an account of the invasion of the coast of Normandy. As in his earlier book, To All Hands (1943), this narrative includes excerpts from broadcasts from the bridge to the men below decks. The result is a gripping personal experience story, as well as a survey of the implications of invasion: from the moods of the British forces; the U.S. response; the morale of the waiting troops; to the first impressions of France.
