Summary:
Since 1983, the Eisenhower Center at the University of New Orleans has been engaged in a project to collect on audiotape and videotape the recollections of as many people as possible - soldiers as well as civilians - who were involved in one of the most historic events of the century - the June 6, 1944, Allied invasion of Normandy and Hitler's Fortress Europe. More than 1,400 oral histories have been collected, and excerpts from some 150 have been selected for inclusion in this remarkable, emotion-filled volume. Skillfully edited by Ronald J. Drez, Voices of D-Day tells the story of that momentous operation almost entirely through the words of individuals who were there.
