Synopsis:
Pegasus Bridge recounts the opening minutes of D-Day (June 6, 1944) through the story of the British airborne coup-de-main mission to seize the strategically vital bridges over the Caen Canal and the Orne River in Normandy.
Stephen E. Ambrose follows the elite glider-borne troops as they train and prepare for the assault, then narrates the operation in dramatic, minute-by-minute detail as they land in darkness, overwhelm the German defenses at close range, and hold the position against counterattacks—an action whose success helped secure the Normandy invasion’s eastern flank.
