True Stories of D-Day by Henry Brook — In association with the Imperial War Museum (paperback book)

Published in association with the Imperial War Museum and produced by Usborne, True Stories of D-Day brings one of history’s most dramatic and decisive military operations to life through the vivid firsthand accounts of the men and women who were there. Henry Brook draws on real testimonies to tell the story of 6th June 1944 — the largest seaborne invasion in history — through the eyes of the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and civilians who lived through it. From the terrifying chaos of Omaha Beach to the paratroopers dropping into the Norman darkness and the resistance fighters working behind enemy lines, these are stories of extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and determination that changed the course of the Second World War. Accessible, gripping, and deeply respectful of the human cost of that momentous day — ideal for younger readers and adults alike.
