Description
Los desembarcos del 6 de junio de 1944, el Día D, marcaron el comienzo de la Operación Overlord, la batalla inicial por la liberación de Europa. Max Hastings, uno de los principales y más aclamados historiadores del periodo, cuestiona y desmonta muchas leyendas en este magistral estudio que reúne los relatos de los testigos presenciales y los supervivientes de ambos bandos, además de una gran cantidad de fuentes y documentos previamente sin explorar. Overlord proporciona al lector una perspectiva brillante y controvertida sobre la devastadora batalla por Normandía y nos lega una de las obras más completas y alabadas sobre los acontecimientos. Un absoluto referente historiográfico. «Un libro magistral, perspicaz, astuto y reflexivo. Max Hastings ocupa el primer lugar entre los escritores sobre la guerra moderna». Financial Times «Hastings combina una prosa dinámica y clara con un análisis provocativo y, a menudo, brillante. Sus conclusiones son claras y sólidas, su investigación completa y su historia incisiva. De los muchos libros que se han escrito sobre Normandía este es, simplemente, el mejor». Dallas Morning News «Un relato brillante y conciso». The Washington Post Book World «El relato de Max Hastings sobre la batalla no sería indigno de coincidir con el de los mejores periodistas y escritores que la presenciaron. Un homenaje a sus habilidades como historiador». John Keegan, The New York Times Book Review
