Synopsis:

In the early morning hours of June 6, 1944, a small detachment of British airborne troops stormed the German defence forces and paved the way for the Allied invasion of Europe. Pegasus Bridge was the first engagement of D-Day, the turning point of World War II. It was so crucial that, had it been unsuccessful, the entire Normandy Invasion might have failed. Ambrose traces each step of the preparations over many months to the minute-by-minute excitement of the confrontations on the bridge. This is a story of heroism and cowardice, kindness and brutality - the stuff of all great adventures.
