{"product_id":"ten-days-to-d-day-david-stafford-9780306814228","title":"Ten Days to D-Day: Citizens and Soldiers on the Eve of the Invasion","description":"Ten days before the largest operation of World War II was launched, it was still one of the century's best-kept secrets -- thanks to countless ordinary people participating in one of history's most remarkable moments. David Stafford has written a riveting account of ten of those ordinary men and women -- including an American paratrooper, a German soldier, a nineteen-year-old English woman working on secret codes, a Parisian Jew in hiding, and a daring French resistance cell -- as they lived through ten very extraordinary days. Drawing on previously unpublished diaries and letters, Stafford gives readers a fresh point of entry into one of the most significant battles ever fought.\u003ci\u003eTen Days to D-Day\u003c\/i\u003e buzzes with the pace of a novel, as Stafford moves from country to country, from character to character, including some of D-Day's leaders: Hitler, Rommel, Eisenhower, and Churchill. Stafford compellingly brings to life the final days before the invasion through the eyes of its participants, the citizens and soldiers that made history on June 6, 1944.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Stafford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0306814226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306814228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.08w x 1.09d","brand":"David Stafford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946411393279,"sku":"9780306814228","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_14d7adf7-0b0f-429e-b8ec-4abf590c2634.jpg?v=1681512997","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ten-days-to-d-day-david-stafford-9780306814228","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
