When D-Day Dawns (The Waves of War) - Softcover

It is the June of 1944. For Sergeant Chuck Rivers, US Rangers, and Lieutenant-Commander Thorburn aboard the destroyer 'Brackendale', the bloodt confusion of savage combat awaits. Thrown into the desperate battle for the beaches of Nazi occupied Europe, it will be the courage of a few, experienced by many and shared by all, that will help determine the outcome of their battle to survive. This then, is their fight to endure.

A former member of Her Majesty's Forces, Graham John Parry has a long held interest in the Military history of World War Two. Delving into the archives of Operations in the English Channel, he was inspired to write a series of books commencing with 'THE WAVES OF WAR'. The stories follow the exploits of LIEUTENANT-COMMANDER RICHARD THORBURN R.N., captain of the small destroyer H.M.S. BRACKENDALE. His second novel, the recently released, 'WHEN D-DAY DAWNS', brings together many of those original men and women, now caught in the middle of a relentless battle for survival. For Richard Thorburn, it is not only his natural flair for seamanship, but also his reliance on the unswerving loyalty of his Ship's Company, that helps enable him to master the dangers of the Narrow Sea. The Author is married with two children, and lives in Kent, in England, close to the waters of the English Channel.
