| Abstract |
"D-Day on 6 June 1944 was a combined joint sea, land, and air operation that was of such massive scale that the American press struggled to capture all aspects of it. Instead, the press chose to produce an anodyne narrative of the Invasion in order to keep the American public engaged and supportive of the war"-- Provided by publisher. |
