About this ebook

First published in 1944, this book by former USNF Lieutenant John Mason Brown is an account of the invasion of the coast of Normandy. As in his earlier book, To All Hands (1943), this narrative includes excerpts from broadcasts from the bridge to the men below decks. The result is a gripping personal experience story, as well as a survey of the implications of invasion: from the moods of the British forces; the U.S. response; the morale of the waiting troops; to the first impressions of France.

Lt. John Mason Brown

John Mason Brown (July 3, 1900 - March 16, 1969) was an American lieutenant in the United States Navy during World War II, drama critic, reporter, and author. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, he graduated from Harvard College in 1923. He worked for the New York Evening Post from 1929 to 1941. He served as a lieutenant in the United States Navy during World War II, beginning in 1942. His book, To All Hands, documents his activities aboard the USS Ancon (AGC-4) during Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily. Upon his return, his “Seeing Things” column appeared in The Saturday Review starting in 1944 until his death in New York City in 1969, aged 68. He was inducted, posthumously, into the American Theatre Hall of Fame in 1981.
