D-Day

Warren Tute and John Costello

D-Day by Warren Tute, a naval officer who took part in the Normandy landings, and historians John Costello & Terry Hughes is a book that was put together for the 30th anniversary of the D-Day landings in 1974. It’s the illustrations that are the book’s biggest selling point: the book opens with a facsimile of a letter from Eisenhower to the troops, you can see newspaper headlines from the time (“INVASION: Allies Land in France, Smash Ahead; Fleet, Planes, Chutists Battling Nazis”), as well as cartoons, maps and fabulous photos.
