"A rousing and humane tribute to D-Day troops" -
New York Times Book Review
From Alan Gratz, the highly acclaimed, New York Times
bestselling author of the blockbuster Refugee, comes another
thrilling multi-perspective novel, this time centered around
D-Day.
D-Day, June 6, 1944: the most expansive military endeavor in history.
No less than world cooperation would bring down Hitler and the
Axis powers. And so people -- and kids -- across the globe lent
their part.
From the young US soldiers in the boats to spies in the French
countryside, the coordination of thousands came together.
Alan Gratz, author of the New York Times bestselling Refugee,
explores the necessity of teamwork and heroism in dismantling
tyranny in this epic, yet personal, look at D-Day in time for
the 75th anniversary of the operation.
