Balkoski's depiction of 'Bloody Omaha' is the literary accompaniment to the whiteknuckle Omaha Beach scene that opens Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan.' John Hillen, New York Post'Balkoski is sometimes referred to as the finest living DDay historian. For my money, the title fits. Anyone who wants to know anything about Omaha Beach, where the fighting was heaviest and bloodiest, must begin with this foundational book by a true maestro of original history. The research is unparalleled and comprehensive enough to satisfy even the most skeptical scholar, yet the story is absorbing. The carnage of Omaha Beach comes to life with vivid contemporary descriptions from participants and witnesses, while the whole tale is deftly steered along by Balkoski's steady narration and his sense of the battle's larger significance. 'History can provide at least a little solace that there was some meaning to it all,' he writes movingly. 'DDay was the decisive chapter of a twentieth century Iliad.' Indeed it wasand Balkoski is its Homer.' John McManus, Wall Street JournalIn this unforgettable narrative of DDay, Joseph Balkoski describes the minutebyminute combat as it unfolded on Omaha Beach, allowing soldiers to speak for themselves as they recall their attempts to maneuver bombers through heavy cloud cover, the claustrophobic terror aboard transports, and the relentless fire that greeted them on the beach. Equal parts oral history and meticulous reconstruction, Omaha Beach is the closest the modern reader can get to experiencing the Normandy landings firsthand.'
