Equal parts oral history and meticulous reconstruction, Omaha Beach is the closest the modern reader can get to experiencing the Normandy landings firsthand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Balkoski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811733769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811733762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stackpole Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Joseph Balkoski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994157547775,"sku":"9780811733762","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b5549a5b-b9d2-4cb6-9918-c67da0cdc6a4.jpg?v=1683328468","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/omaha-beach-joseph-balkoski-9780811733762","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
