Did you know that it is possible to get a signed copy of our event books? We are best able to accommodate your request if you order signed copies at least 48 hours in advance of the author's appearance. If you are interested in obtaining a signed book from an event occurring tonight or tomorrow - or from an event that has already passed, please call the store at 202-364-1919 or 1-800-722-0790 to confirm availability and to ensure that we receive your order more quickly.
Pre-order a signed book by selecting the book from our events calendar and adding a request for a signed book in the order comments field.
The eminent World War II historian and author of Stalingrad, The Battle for Spain, and The Fall of Berlin 1945, here turns his attention to the Normandy invasion. While military casualties were on a par with those of the Eastern front (Anglo-American losses were some 2,000 men per division per month after D-Day), Beevor notes that civilian deaths were also high, with more than 3,000 French civilians killed in the first 24 hours of Operation Overlord. This vivid account supplements its grisly statistics with many telling descriptions of the events from participants and frank assessments of the strategies and behavior of the military leaders involved. It continues the narrative through to the liberation of Paris.
All our in-store events are free and open to the public. All event titles are 20% off for members during the month in which the author appears at the store. Click here for directions. There is ample parking available in the lot behind the store and in the surrounding neighborhood.
If you can't come to an event and still want an autographed copy of the book, you may purchase titles in advance either in the store, over the phone (202.364.1919 or 1.800.722.0790), or through our website. When buying online, simply use the checkout comments field to indicate that you would like us to request the author's signature at our event before shipping it to you. Event recordings on CD or MP3 are also available in the store and online.
