About this item
"When the Sea Came Alive" by Garrett M. Graff is a definitive oral history of D-Day, meticulously recounting the pivotal moments of June 6, 1944, through the voices of those who lived it. Graff, renowned for his meticulous research and storytelling prowess seen in "The Only Plane in the Sky" and his work on Watergate, crafts a gripping narrative that captures the magnitude and heroism of the largest seaborne invasion in history.

Set against the backdrop of World War II's escalating tensions and Allied preparations, Graff vividly portrays the strategic planning, logistical challenges, and the courage of over 150,000 Allied troops who stormed the beaches of Normandy. The meticulous coordination under Operation OVERLORD, led by General Dwight D. Eisenhower, unfolds through the perspectives of soldiers, planners, airmen, journalists, and civilians caught in the tumult of war.

Through firsthand accounts, readers experience the anticipation, fear, and adrenaline of soldiers boarding landing craft, the strategic calculations of military planners, and the sacrifices made by ordinary people swept up in the epic struggle against fascism. Graff's narrative is rich with personal anecdotes, ensuring that each voice contributes to a mosaic of courage and determination that shaped history.

"When the Sea Came Alive" is not just a historical retelling but a tribute to the resilience and valor of the Greatest Generation. It underscores the enduring significance of D-Day as a turning point in World War II, securing Allied victory and liberating Europe from Nazi occupation. Graff's masterful storytelling and comprehensive research make this oral history an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the profound impact of D-Day on global history and the human spirit.
