"You can't just tell kids that history is cool; you have to prove it, and Atkinson does." --Steve Sheinkin, The New York Times Book Review on D-Day "Atkinson seats readers at the secret meetings of the Allied commanders, ejects them with paratroopers over the foggy French countryside, puts them into landing craft to hear soldiers barf and exclaim, and sends them out to die bloodily on the beaches wracked with enemy fire . . . a grand and historically significant tale told with dash and authority." --Kirkus Reviews on D-Day
