An Oxford history graduate, Jane Penrose has published historical books for many years. She is particularly noted for her editing of the highly acclaimed 'The D-Day Companion' for Osprey Publishing. Each chapter of this book focuses on a different aspect of the D-Day landings, from the build-up to the attack to the experiences of the troops on the ground. Published to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Normandy Landings, ' The D-Day Companion' book brings together the perspectives and opinions of leading military historians from both sides of the Atlantic. Operation Overlord saw the Allied Generals Eisenhower and Montgomery pit their wits against Hitler in a bold bid to liberate continental Europe. Featuring a foreword by Major Richard Winters, real-life commander of Easy Company as featured in Stephen E Ambrose's ' Band of Brothers', this is a unique and incisive examination of the momentous events that surrounded June 6, 1944. Each chapter of this new book focuses on a different aspect of the D-Day landings, from the build-up to the attack to the experiences of the troops on the ground. From a review found on-line: Over 60 years have passed since D-Day-that most momentous operation of World War II-and yet it remains as vibrant and inspiring today as it was then, in 1944. The unity, focus, and overall coordination of the assault remain unsurpassed and its lessons a worthy topic for study and admiration. In The D-Day Companion, a compilation of essays edited by Jane Penrose, 12 leading historians look at 13 different facets of the invasion, from Hitler's buildup of the Atlantic Wall to the Allies' incredible efforts at deception and counterintelligence. The essays range from the tactical to the human and convey lessons in ways that are often easily understood. Each of the essays in The D-Day Companion is detailed and distinct, but read together, they give the reader a sense of the big picture: the difficulty and enormity of the endeavor, as well as the tremendous possibilities inherent in combined operations. For anyone interested in studying D-Day, or simply gaining a refresher, this book would make an excellent primer-one of history's great lessons taught by 12 capable teachers.
