June 6, 1994 : The Voices of D-Day. I found Astor's book to be an excellent read. You get an accurate portrayal of what the invasion must have been like for the soldier, . like what you see in "Saving Private Ryan" - the blown-apart body parts, limbless bodies, etc. The book covers, quite well, the soldiers at home (before the war), their experiences in training, the trip over to France, their battles on the beach, and a follow-up. I certainly recommend his book to anyone

The invasion had been planned for the day before. But a storm forced a delay. At three-thirty in the morning, the Allied commander, General Dwight Eisenhower, was meeting with his assistants. The storm still blew outside the building. General Eisenhower and his generals were discussing whether they should attack the next day. A weatherman entered the room. He reported that the weather soon would improve.
