This Guide to the Study and Use of Military History is designed to foster an appreciation of the value of military history and explain its uses and the resources available for its study. It is not a work to be read and lightly tossed aside, but one the career soldier should read again or use as a reference at those times during his career when necessity or leisure turns him to the contemplation of the military past.

"Do you realize that by the time you wake up in the morning, twenty thousand men may have been killed?" —Winston Churchill to Clementine Churchill, 5 June 1944 From the world's greatest collection of Winston Churchill's personal papers comes the genesis, execution, and aftermath of D-Day through the eyes of the British Bulldog. On June 6, 1944, the landings from the greatest armada of ships ever assembled began at 0630hrs. Overnight, paratroopers from the British 6th Airborne Division had secured the eastern flank of the landing zone with the US 82nd and 101st Airborne Division securing the western flank to reduce the risk of German counterattacks. The Allied battle, codenamed "Operation Overlord," had begun. In Churchill's D-Day, Richard Dannatt former leader of the British Army, and Allen Packwood, one of the world's foremost Churchill experts, capture the British Bulldog's emotional turmoil and epic decision-making before, during, and after the world-defining action of D-Day. Culled from the official Churchill Papers at the Churchill Archives Centre, this book features historical documents, photographs, letters, and more, for a documentary Churchillian experience of D-Day leadership, military strategy, and humanity. As the people of Great Britain awake to the news of the landings on their radios, the burden of making a formal statement to the House of Commons falls on the shoulders of their prime minister. While Churchill is aware of the huge responsibility he bears for the British soldiers and French civilians, knowing his political opponents will question his leadership, no one else in the world is aware of the conversations, innermost thoughts, and deliberations leading up to the decisions he's made and will continue to make on this day. Everything hangs in the balance. Churchill's D-Day is history come alive--the Invasion of Normandy as the British Bulldog experienced it himself.
