Description

This is the "forgotten" story of the tragic deaths of 946 US servicemen off the coast of England during rehearsals for the D-day invasion. The incident was shrouded in secrecy at the time due to the impending invasion, and only now have the full details of what happened that night been appraised in this new book.
