This lushly illustrated coffee table book is aimed at armchair travelers and Normandy visitors alike. The historical text is solid; then then vs now pictures remind us that time heals at least some wounds., ...details what can be seen on the ground today using a mixture of media to provide a complete overview of the campaign. Maps old and new highlight what has survived and what hasn't; then-and-now photography allows fascinating comparisons with the images taken at the time--particularly the aerial views--and computer artwork provides graphic details of things that can't be seen today. A particular aspect of the book that is worthy of note is the photograph captions. A concerted effort has been made to identify not only locations, but also the individuals contained within well known photos - including in some cases their fate, during the battle for Normandy.

Synopsis
In this beautiful new full-color book, the reader goes "on-site" to the sacred battleground from its scarred medieval villages to the remains of modern means of destruction., Over 75 years have passed and the D-Day landings have lost none of their impact. Even today the vestiges of Hitler's Atlantic Wall speak of the huge undertaking necessary for the Allies to gain a foothold in Normandy. In this beautiful new full-color book, the reader goes "on-site" to the sacred battleground from its scarred medieval villages to the remains of modern means of destruction. The huge armada that attacked from Britain left behind many signs of their passage: from the huge caissons of the mulberry harbor around Arromanches, the gun emplacements at Longues and Merville, to the multitude of hardware used as memorials--tanks, artillery, pillboxes--and the many graves and cemeteries that honor those who died on both sides. It is in memory of the dead that much of what can be seen on the ground survives, but as the last few survivors reach their 90s, a new audience requires information about the events of the past that can only come from seeing the ground where the battle was fought. Today, the beaches are a fascinating mixture of the new and the old, including the new visitors' center at Colleville and the renovation and expansion of the Utah Beach museum--even as further new memorials jostle with the older sites that have changed little in 75 years. The Normandy Battlefields details what can be seen on the ground today using a mixture of media to provide a complete overview of the campaign. Maps old and new highlight what has survived and what hasn't; then-and-now photography allows fascinating comparisons with the images taken at the time--particularly the aerial views--and computer artwork provides graphic details of things that can't be seen today.The book describes the area from Cherbourg to Le Havre by way of the key D-Day locations, providing a handbook for the visitor and an overview for the armchair traveler. It covers, wherever possible, the forces from both sides and the memorials to those young men who fought so many years ago.

- c***r (555)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook exactly as specified, rapid international delivery (USA to UK), and a reasonable price for an out-of-print book. Many thanks for that. In particular, I appreciated the good quality packaging for the book. It arrived in a cardboard box, and inside, it had paper to pad out the box, plus a thin plastic cover to further protect the book. This meant the book survived international shipping in great condition. On that basis, I highly recommend this seller.Relax Into Stretch by Pavel Tsatsouline - flexibility and strength exercises (#197202802654)
- 3***3 (33)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseThe book was exactly as described. Near perfect condition. I’m loving reading all Jacques Pepin’s tips. The seller was extremely helpful. I, inadvertently, entered the wrong shipping address. I sent a message to the seller with the correct address. They answered me the next day saying not to worry they would change it. The book arrived quickly in a box cushioned with brown stuffing paper. The book itself was carefully wrapped in heavy white protective paper. I highly recommend them.La Technique Jacques Pepin illustrated techniques cooking paperback 1978 SIGNED (#167108398582)
- 7***7 (935)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSuper seller! Item as described and packed very well so mo shipping induced damage. Bible is somewhat rare with a leather cover and pages are not damaged by underlining, highlighting, hand written notes in margins, creases, tears, or stains. Better than " as described". Highly recommend this seller!😊👍
