Minute by minute, hour by hour the danger grows...\u003cbr\u003e    In the early morning hours of June 6, 1944, a small detachment of British airborne troops stormed the German defence forces and paved the way for the Allied invasion of Europe. Pegasus Bridge was the first engagement of D-Day, the turning point of World War II. This gripping account by acclaimed author Stephen E. Ambrose brings to life a daring mission so crucial that, had it been unsuccessful, the entire Normandy invasion might have failed. Ambrose traces each step of the preparations over many months to the minute-by-minute excitement of the hand-to-hand confrontations on the bridge. This is a story of heroism and cowardice, kindness and brutality - the stuff of all great adventures.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867176972631,"sku":"9781471158315","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781471158315.jpg?v=1722282051","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/pegasus-bridge-9781471158315","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
