About the Book

Adapted for young readers from the #1 New York Times-bestselling The Guns at Last Light, D-Day captures the events and the spirit of that day--June 6, 1944--the day that led to the liberation of western Europe from Nazi Germany's control. They came by sea and by sky to reclaim freedom from the occupying Germans, turning the tide of World War II. Atkinson skillfully guides his younger audience through the events leading up to, and of, the momentous day in this photo-illustrated adaptation. Perfect for history buffs and newcomers to the topic alike! This thoroughly-researched and documented book can be worked into multiple aspects of the common core curriculum.

A former staff writer and senior editor at The Washington Post, he lives in Washington, D.C.

Review :
"Adapted from Atkinson's adult history of the latter part of WWII, The Guns at Last Light (2013), this is a brisk, busy, gutsy look at modern warfare's most famous offensive." --Booklist "*This fine adaptation of Atkinson's adult The Guns at Last Light is a readable, and even suspenseful, account of the final preparations for and successful execution of the D-Day invasion." --School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW "This version of the much-admired The Guns at Last Light for younger audiences focuses on the drama and the astonishing scale of one of World War II's pivotal operations: the D-Day invasion . . . A grand and significant tale told with dash and authority." --Kirkus Reviews "A magnificent book . . . Though the story may seem familiar, I found surprising detail on every page . . . Atkinson's account of D-Day is both masterly and lyrical . . . [He] is an absolute master of his material." --Max Hastings on The Guns at Last Light, The Wall Street Journal "A tapestry of fabulous richness and complexity . . . Atkinson is a master of what might be called 'pointillism history, ' assembling the small dots of pure color into a vivid, tumbling narrative. . . . The Liberation Trilogy is a monumental achievement . . . densely researched but supremely readable." --The New York Times Book Review on The Guns at Last Light "Breathtaking, unforgettable . . . Atkinson provides us with especially poignant descriptions in a blaze of writing and research that matches the drama and significance of the moment, all without peer in modern history . . . This volume is a literary triumph worthy of the military triumph it explores and explains." --The Boston Globe on The Guns at Last Light
