Books by Neil Barber

This comprehensive pocket guide to Pegasus Bridge is designed for anyone visiting the site but is equally useful for those wanting an accurate understanding of exactly what happened. Neil Barber uses photographs and first-hand accounts to simply explain what happened in those first few vital hours of D-Day.

"The glider-borne operation to capture the Pegasus and River Orne Bridges has an established place in the annals of warfare. Conducted by Major John Howard and his six platoons of Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, it was a superbly daring, brilliantly executed 'coup de main' assault."--Jacket.
