LTF Stock #: 000423
Jeff Shaara’s The Steel Wave carries readers from the tense planning rooms in England to the ferocious landings in Normandy. Through the eyes of commanders like Eisenhower and Rommel and front-line soldiers such as a young private of the 29th Infantry, the novel reconstructs the Allied invasion of June 1944—its intelligence gambles, weather delays, paratroop drops, naval barrages, and the brutal, chaotic struggle on Omaha Beach. Shaara mixes documented history with imagined personal moments to examine fear, leadership, luck, and the cost of opening a second front. The large-print edition offers the same sweeping narrative in an accessible format, tracing how the D-Day gamble altered the course of the war and demanded extraordinary courage from ordinary men. (Random House Large Print, 2008; 832 pp.; series Book 2)
