Voices from D-Day by Jonathan Bastable is a powerful and immersive account of the Normandy landings, told through the firsthand testimonies of those who experienced it. Drawing from letters, diaries, and interviews, Bastable weaves together the voices of Allied soldiers, German defenders, and French civilians to create a vivid, multi-layered portrait of June 6, 1944. The book moves chronologically through the day, capturing the tension, confusion, and courage that defined the operation. Rather than focusing solely on military strategy, Bastable emphasizes the emotional and psychological realities of war—fear, hope, camaraderie, and sacrifice. His commentary provides historical context while allowing the raw voices of participants to take center stage. The result is a deeply human narrative that brings the enormity of D-Day down to the personal level, making it an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the lived experience of one of history’s most pivotal moments
