The Long Night

Om The Long Night

The invasion by Allied forces on the coast of Normandy on June 6, 1944, was the culmination of a great deal of planning and cooperation between the allied forces, countries, and individual branches of the service. It resulted in the largest seaborne invasion in world history. It is unlikely we will see it's like again. Many authors have written books and biographies about the bravery and sacrifices made on that day, particularly the carnage at Omaha Beach. This book, written to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day, is not about that day, but covers the period of dusk from June 5th to dawn of June 6th, 1944. This book is my tribute to those from both sides of the Atlantic who came together to ensure the world was freed from a great tyranny. There are no fictional characters in 'The Long Night'. Other authors and historians have received written accounts from survivors of 'The great Crusade', who have provided much of the information. In the 70s, I had the good fortune of visiting Normandy and Pegasus Bridge. I spoke to locals who were there and had vivid memories of that night. Friendships forged between the French people and their liberators lasted a lifetime.
