From July 10, 1943, the date of the Allied landing in Sicily, to May 8, 1945, when victory in Europe was declared - the entire time it took to liberate Europe - no regiment saw more action, and no single platoon, company, or battalion endured worse, than the ones commanded by Felix Sparks, who had entered the war as a greenhorn second lieutenant of the 157th "Eager for Duty" Infantry Regiment of the 45th "Thunderbird" Division. Sparks and his fellow Thunderbirds fought longest and hardest to defeat Hitler.

Though the United States was still neutral, a few Americans decided they couldn't remain on the sidelines. They joined Britain's Royal Air Force - with the future of civilization hanging in the balance. The Few tells the dramatic story of these Americans who defied their own country's neutrality laws and risked their very citizenship to fight side-by-side with England's finest pilots.

Under attack and vastly outnumbered, they repulse three German assaults in a fierce day-long battle, killing more than 500 Germans. Only when Bouck's men run out of ammunition do they surrender. As POWs, Bouck's platoon experience an ordeal far worse than combat: trigger-happy German guards, Allied bombing raids, and a daily ration of thin soup. Somehow, the men of Bouck's platoon all miraculously survive.

This is the dramatic story of the American bomber boys in World War II who brought the war to Hitler’s doorstep. With the narrative power of fiction, this is a harrowing ride through the fire-filled skies over Berlin, Hanover, and Dresden. Fighting at twenty-five thousand feet in thin, freezing air no warriors had encountered before, bomber crews battled new kinds of assaults on body and mind. Air combat was deadly but intermittent: periods of inactivity and anxiety were followed by short bursts of fire and fear.

They were immediately surrounded by 2,000 North Vietnamese soldiers. Three days later, only two and a half miles away, a sister battalion was chopped to pieces. Together, these actions at the landing zones X-Ray and Albany constituted one of the most savage and significant battles of the Vietnam War. How these men persevered makes a vivid portrait of war at its most inspiring and devastating.

On the first Sunday in December 1941, an armada of Japanese warplanes appeared suddenly over Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and devastated the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Six months later, in a sea fight north of the tiny atoll of Midway, four Japanese aircraft carriers were sent into the abyss. Pacific Crucible tells the epic tale of these first searing months of the Pacific war, when the U.S. Navy shook off the worst defeat in American military history and seized the strategic initiative.

Publisher's Summary
A National Best Seller
Alex Kershaw, author of The Longest Winter and The Liberator, returns with an utterly immersive, adrenaline-driven account of D-Day combat.
“Meet the assaulters: Pathfinders plunging from the black, coxswains plowing the whitecaps, bareknuckle Rangers scaling sheer rock.... Fast-paced and up close, this is history’s greatest story reinvigorated as only Alex Kershaw can.” (Adam Makos, New York Times best-selling author of Spearhead and A Higher Call)
Beginning in the predawn darkness of June 6, 1944, The First Wave follows the remarkable men who carried out D-Day’s most perilous missions. The charismatic, unforgettable cast includes the first American paratrooper to touch down on Normandy soil; the glider pilot who braved antiaircraft fire to crash-land mere yards from the vital Pegasus Bridge; the brothers who led their troops onto Juno Beach under withering fire; as well as a French commando, returning to his native land, who fought to destroy German strongholds on Sword Beach and beyond. Listeners will experience the sheer grit of the Rangers who scaled Pointe du Hoc and the astonishing courage of the airborne soldiers who captured the Merville Gun Battery in the face of devastating enemy counterattacks. The first to fight when the stakes were highest and the odds longest, these men would determine the fate of the invasion of Hitler’s Fortress Europe - and the very history of the 20th century.
The result is an epic of close combat and extraordinary heroism. It is the capstone of Alex Kershaw’s remarkable career, built on his close friendships with D-Day survivors and his intimate understanding of the Normandy battlefield. For the 75th anniversary, here is a fresh take on World War II's longest day.
Praise for The First Wave:
“Masterful...readers will feel the sting of the cold surf, smell the acrid cordite that hung in the air, and duck the zing of machine-gun bullets whizzing overhead. The First Wave is an absolute triumph.” (James M. Scott, best-selling author of Target Tokyo)
“These pages ooze with the unforgettable human drama of history's most consequential invasion.” (John C. McManus, author of The Dead and Those About to Die)
Critic Reviews
“[A] fast-paced tale.... Kershaw is at his evocative best describing the chaos, courage, and carnage of combat, vividly portraying the bravery of the ‘greatest generation.’ Even readers well-read on the subject will enjoy this perspective.” (Publishers Weekly)
“The reader looking for inspirational accounts of what it took to win the day - especially in its very first hours - will find Kershaw as compelling as ever.... This new history of the twentieth century’s most momentous day belongs on any history lover’s bookshelf.” (The Roanoke Times)
“Compelling...Kershaw puts events ranging from the humorous to the heartbreaking into context against the backdrop of an operation so large it almost defies comprehension.” (Army magazine)

Thoughtful and Sobering
This book is very good, as an American Ive heard so much about Omaha beach and the airborne divisions, and also the Rangers at Utah beach. This book goes deeper into the contributions by our Canadian, English, Scottish and even French allies on D-Day, June 6th, 1944. If everybody in the United States, and around the world, especially in the Allied WW2 countries, could step into a time box and just watch the carnage unfold, or even just walk the beaches and fields a few hours after the landings, I think most of the division we face would just silently fade away. These men knew who the enemy was, the Nazis of Germany. Today all the people running around the US calling each other Nazis would quit, if they really knew what went down on June 6th. As a grateful American, books like these need told. A must listen/ read

Outstanding!
It was great to read a book that didn't focus only on the American experience of D-Day. The compelling individual stories of men dealing with the horrors of battle, along with plenty of background and detail made this a book that will stay in my memory. The reader is captivated by the writers from the first page to the last.

This is the best on-the-ground account of D-Day
Alex Kershaw, with the help of Paul Michael's clear and engaging narration, gives us what no book and certainly no movie has ever given us: an account of the experience of D-Day from the viewpoint of the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who actually fought the battle.
His focus is tight and intense. We get almost none of the top-level decision-making that usually consumes most of the pages in books about D-Day or World War II. In effect, The First Wave begins when paratroopers and glider troops first embark, and then puts us in the boats that carried men and their equipment to the shore. Some plans were wretched failures -- a shocking number of tank crews died when their incompetently prepared equipment was launched in water too deep, or with flotation systems that didn't work. Yet tanks had been a crucial part of the planning for the beaches -- infantry were supposed to come ashore on beaches that were already dominated by Allied tanks! Yet somehow, despite failures of planning, of testing, and of execution, the troops who landed on all the beaches, American, Canadian, and British, fought their way to secure a foothold from which they were not driven off.
We also get a close view of the German side, and not just of their mistakes. Many German soldiers fought bravely and stubbornly; none of the Allied achievements in Normandy were handed to them. And we can see how many practices that are now military doctrine in armed forces everywhere were learned the hard way in the Normandy campaign.
Unless World War II has been your life study, chances are that many of the stories told in The First Wave will come as a surprise. And when you're through listening to the account, you will have a far better understanding of D-Day, from all sides, than you can possibly have gotten from any book or movie you've read before.

Excellent coverage of the D-Day invasion
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book and will listen to it a second time in the near future. As an avid reader of authentic military history, I already knew the overall picture for the battle. In fact, parts of it are known to every American since they are key in movies such as "The Longest Day". What I enjoyed here, however, was what happened to these men at the tip of the spear afterwards.
For example, in the coverage of the first night in the pre-dawn attack, it was known that John Howard's commandos took and held the Pegasus Bridge after their gliders landed virtually on top of it. What I didn't know was what happened to Howard afterwards. Likewise, as they waited for Lord Lovett's men to relieve them it was never covered how much resistance Lovett had to face before getting to Pegasus Bridge to relieve Howard. In addition, I never knew what happened to Lovett afterwards which this book covers very well.
Military history buffs will love this new addition to the archives since it follows up on what happened to the key players in the years afterwards...how they lived out their lives, some badly wounded, and how they ended up.
This is a well done book and highly recommended.

Excellent encompassing narrative of D-Day Invasion
This was another terrific, well-researched story by Alex Kershaw, covering the invasion by air and sea. It was interesting to learn more about the British and Canadian involvement in D-Day as well. The narrator was very good with French and German pronunciations and was pleasant to listen to.
If you ever wondered why the U.S. D-Day Memorial is located in Bedford, Virginia of all places, I very highly recommend another book by Alex Kershaw called, The Bedford Boys.
