About this listen
Explore how the Second World War began, the aftermath, and the events in between, while also getting an in-depth look into the extraordinary military operation called D-Day.
Two captivating manuscripts in one audiobook:
- World War 2: A Captivating Guide from Beginning to End
- D-Day: A Captivating Guide to the Battle for Normandy
The Second World War was one of the most traumatic events in human history. Across the world, existing conflicts became connected, entangling nations in a vast web of violence. It was fought on land, sea, and air, touching every inhabited continent. Over 55 million people died, some of them combatants, some civilians caught up in the violence, and some murdered by their own governments.
It was the war that unleashed the Holocaust and the atomic bomb upon the world. But it was also a war that featured acts of courage and self-sacrifice on every side.
D-Day, the Allied invasion of German-held Normandy, was one of the most extraordinary achievements not only of the Second World War but in the whole of military history. Millions of Allied personnel were involved in launching the greatest sea-borne invasion ever undertaken. Incredible acts of cunning and of courage ensured success in an operation that changed the face of the war, opening a vast new front. It led to the liberation of France and the defeat of Nazi Germany.
Why was this extraordinary operation launched? How was it done? And what happened in the aftermath? Listen to this audiobook now to learn more about World War 2 and D-Day!

Excellent summary of WW2 and DDay
Excellent listen. Although cramming alot into the 4 hours, it felt very informative and covered so much of what was such a massive event in human history.

Happy With This
Any additional comments?
This is the second book of his I've encountered and he did not disappoint. The author is able weave details and facts into an interesting time line that doesn't read like a history book. Although after reading his book you have learned so much and can appreciate what these people have endured.

Any additional comments?
The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that I have yet to complete the book. As to my experience as a buyer it was very good, on time and clean text!

ridiculously short
33 chapters, averaging about 7 minutes each. Ridiculous for a topic of this magnitude. You'd get more detail -- and better research -- reading give pages on Wikipedia. Look elsewhere.
