Journalist Kevin Dennehy, who co-authored The D-Day Visitor’s Handbook in 2019, provides an overview of what you need to know to plan and make the most of your visit to the site of the biggest seaborne invasion in history: the Normandy battlefields. While describing the most significant land invasion of World War II, he provides information on detailed battlefield maps and tours, identifies monuments and attractions, and locates museums and historical sites to make your planning easier and less stressful. He also shares highlights from his travel guide on where to stay, dine, and shop; the best D-Day museums; and how to find war relics still at the battlefield sites.

Dennehy is a retired Army National Guard colonel and Special Forces combat veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq. His newest book, The D-Day Visitor's Handbook, 80th Anniversary Edition: Your Guide to the Normandy Battlefields and WWII Paris, Revised and Updated (Skyhorse Publishing), is available for purchase.
