NATIONAL BESTSELLER • 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 bestselling 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. Readers 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 twentieth century.   The result is an epic of close combat and extraordinary heroism. It is the capstone Alex Kershaw’s remarkable career, built on his close friendships with D-Day survivors and his intimate understanding of the Normandy battlefield. For the seventy-fifth 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, bestselling 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

First, what it is: This is a good collection of stories that mostly follow individuals as they worked - sometimes together across broad goals and sometimes as individual leaders and participants - to carry out the D-Day invasion. Each story is richly told and they interweave together to present a good - if not wholly thorough - overview of the carnage of that campaign.Now, what it isn't: A history. Yes, the author relies on a variety of historical accounts, but presents this more subjectively than any historian would. In fact, some of the author's own musings are a bit grating and get diminish what otherwise would be a better book. To say, for example, that no one had fought harder than one particular individual seems to diminish the efforts of others. It's an unforced error. To interject - without a direct reference or attribution - that an action was 'scandelous' - is uncalled for. At one point he calls Hitler's aides "flunkies" which I consider to be a pejorative best left to private company. I can't see how it fits in with any historical account. I find it abrasive - when there is so much to admire about the soldiers who particpated in D-Day, to call any one thing "the best" "the most difficult" or "the fiercest."There are places, as well, where the author repeats himself and one glaring place where he tells us a character is dead, only to show the reader - several chapter laters - that the character is, indeed, alive.It's an engaging book. I read through it quickly and gained even more appreciation for the soldiers who participated in D-Day. My greatest wish is that I could have read more of the stories and fewer of the author's personal opinions.
