About this series
Freedom isn't free
More than 150,000 Allied soldiers landed on the coast of France—and changed the world.
Daring and risky, the WW2 invasion of Normandy required months of detailed planning. It also needed some clever deceptions, such as building a "fake" invasion force. When launch day finally arrived, and more than 6000 ships were anchored off the northern coast of France, bad weather threatened to ruin the entire operation.
Read about the amazing events of June 6, 1944
Heroic paratroopers landing at night behind enemy lines to blowp bridges and railroads
Brave soldiers swimming for shore under heavy gunfire—only to find beaches littered with landmines
Underground resistance fighters risking their lives to help the Allies and drive Nazis out of France
Among history's most important battles, the D-Day Invasion shows young readers the true meaning of "freedom isn't free."
Reviews of "Great Battles for Boys: WW2 Europe"
"This book should be in school libraries everywhere. It is a treasure trove of information that is engagingly written that makes one feel they are in a great classroom with a great instructor sharing his knowledge in a fun way." 5 stars, Top 100 Amazon Reviewer
"My grandson is absolutely soaking up every page of reading!" 5 Stars, Christin
"This is a great book for the younger generation to understand the major actions of WWII in Europe. It covers all the major campaigns and is a good refresher to us older folks. The author provides a list of resources, including movies and websites, at the end of each chapter for further study. I highly recommend this book and its companion "Great Battles for Boys: WW2 in the Pacific." 5 Stars, William E
Joe Giorello
Joe Giorello teaches a highly popular middle-grade class for boys called “Great Battles," based on this book series. Growing up in a large Italian family in Queens, New York, Joe listened to firsthand stories of relatives who served in World War II and Vietnam. Their experiences sparked his love of history and spurred him to study military history. He’s since acquired a vast library of books that stretch from ancient battles to modern warfare. As both a teacher and an author , Joe’s goal is to show young people that “freedom isn’t free” and that history is anything but boring. When he’s not teaching about historic battles, weapons, and warfare, Joe can be found playing blues around the Seattle area with his band, The Fabulous Roof Shakers. He enjoys hearing from readers.
