8vo., Tenth Impression, with 28 plates on 16 and coloured endpaper maps; red cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper.
Includes a good bibliography. This impression retains the dustwrapper artwork of the original edition (1960), but omits the extensive blurb on its inner surface. Compiled from many participants' accounts, this is still the finest one-volume account of D-Day. It is the basis of Ken Annakin's well-known feature film (1962) starring John Wayne, Kenneth More and a host of other stars. VERY SCARCE IN ANYTHING LIKE THIS CONDITION. Enser, p.292.
