DJ has slight wear and soiling. Carlo D'Este (1936 November 22, 2020) was an American military historian and biographer, author of several books, especially on World War II. He was a decorated U.S. Army lieutenant colonel. In 2011, he was awarded the Pritzker Literature Award for Lifetime Achievement in Military Writing. D'Este attended New Mexico Military Institute junior college in 1956. He received his B.A. (magna cum laude) from Norwich University in 1958, an M.A. from the University of Richmond in 1974, and an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Norwich in 1992. He received his master's from University of Richmond in 1974 and then attended University of London under the G.I. bill. On his retirement from the army in 1978 he took to writing military history, for which he won many prizes and achieved international recognition in the U.S. and Britain - beginning with Decision in Normandy, his revisionist history of the D-Day landings and Allied campaign in France in 1944. D'Este was not only featured in multiple television documentaries, but was asked to advise President Clinton at the White House before the president's fiftieth anniversary visit to Normandy and Italy, in 1994. The battle for Normandy was the most complex and daring military operation in the history of modern warfare. Two years of intense, detailed planning reached its successful conclusion when the Allied forces took the beaches on D-Day. But the seventy-six-day campaign that followed, the Allies' crucial bid for a toehold in western Europe, was one of the bloodiest of the war, and its true story has been concealed in myth. Drawing on a wealth of previously unpublished papers, declassified documents, diaries, and personal interviews, Carlo D'Este has written the first full account of what actually happened in Normandy, how the campaign went wrong, and how it was eventually won. Step-by-step the reader is taken through the Normandy campaign from the earliest days after Dunkirk when Churchill first considered the idea of a cross-channel invasion of France, to the key battles that determined that outcome, with maps clearly explaining the strategy and logistics of each battle.

DJ has some wear and soiling and is in a plastic sleeve. A substantial portion of this work appeared originally in The New Yorker. Alan McCrae Moorehead, AO, OBE (22 July 1910 29 September 1983) was a war correspondent and author of histories, most notably two books on the nineteenth-century exploration of the Nile, The White Nile (1960) and The Blue Nile (1962). Australian-born, he lived in England, and Italy, from 1937. He became a renowned foreign correspondent for the London Daily Express. Writer, world traveler, biographer, essayist, journalist, Moorehead was one of the most successful writers in English of his day. During World War II he won an international reputation for his coverage of campaigns in the Middle East and Asia, the Mediterranean and Northwest Europe. He was twice mentioned in dispatches and was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. In 1966, Moorehead made what became for him the first of an annual series of visits to Australia. There he had completed a television script for his manuscript "Darwin and the Beagle", but tragedy struck before the book was published. That December, he had a major stroke. At 56, Moorehead, one of the great communicators of his time, could neither speak, read, nor write. Through his wife, however, his writing went on. Darwin and the Beagle was brought out as an illustrated book in 1969. Charles Robert Darwin FRS FRGS FLS FZS JP (12 February 1809 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist, widely known for his contributions to evolutionary biology. His proposition that all species of life have descended from a common ancestor is now generally accepted and considered a fundamental concept in science. In a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace, he introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding. Darwin has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history and was honored by burial in Westminster Abbey. Derived from a Kirkus review: This story of the historic venture is told with Mr. Moorehead's customary vigor and skill. Of particular interest to the author is the tightrope relationship between two young men who initially respected and liked one another's company--Charles Darwin and Robert FitzRoy, Captain of the Beagle. An aristocratic Tory, a brilliant navigator, a stern, proud, religious man, FitzRoy had been sent to survey coasts of the Southern Hemisphere. The boyish and engaging Darwin finally clambered on board as naturalist, after a series of chances and spur-of-the-moment decisions to detour from his intended clerical career. Following the initial miseries of seasickness and shipboard orientation, Darwin totally succumbed to the excitement of exploration, collection and discovery through wild, exotic, dangerous, difficult terrains and seas. And almost imperceptibly Darwin's inherited religious conditioning melted away before the assault of evidences of the earth's upheavals, the dazzling varieties in species of flora, fauna--and incidentally, man. Moorehead conveys with spirit Darwin's boundless physical and intellectual energy, but also touches on the enigma of FitzRoy, his bafflement and anger in the face of failure and the pathos of his largely ignored appearance at the famous Oxford "trial" thirty years after the voyage.
