''Stephen Fisher is one of the best kept secrets in military history. With his wealth of knowledge and exacting eye for detail, his book on D-Day is sure to impress a vast audience'' Dan Snow
''Stephen Fisher... is a very rare beast - a man who can bring stunning research and scholarship hand-in-glove with the gifts of a fine storyteller'' James Holland
''Written with verve and panache, I can almost hear the splash of waves against the LCTs, the whine of bullets overhead, feel the concussive thud of shells and mortars, and experience the rush of sweat, fear and adrenaline as Fisher describes the opening battle in Normandy on that day of all days D Day on Sword Beach. It's a brilliant evocation of one of the greatest days in history, and Fisher has done it proud. Bravo!'' Robert Lyman, author of Victory to Defeat: The British Army 1918-1940
