For the 75th anniversary of DDay, a deluxe collector's edition gathering two gripping masterpieces of military history.Library of America presents two of the best books ever written about World War II in a deluxe collector's edition featuring 88 pages of photographs, fullcolor endpaper maps, rare archival material revealing how the books were written, and a new introduction by Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist and historian Rick Atkinson (The Liberation Trilogy). The Longest Day tells the story of the Allies' greatest success, the Normandy invasions of June 6, 1944, Operation Overlord; A Bridge Too Far recounts perhaps their greatest failure, the catastrophic airborne invasion of Holland in September 1944, known as Operation Market Garden.
