Caddick‑Adams uses a decade of archival work, battlefield walking, and interviews to trace Operation Overlord from long‑term planning and deception operations through to the landings and immediate breakout from Normandy. He devotes substantial space to the airborne drops, the German Atlantic Wall defenses, and then to each of the five invasion beaches—Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword—reconstructing events from both Allied and German perspectives and highlighting how logistics, weather, and sheer luck shaped the day’s outcome.
