\nIn his most recent work\, When the Sea Came Alive\, Graff explores the full impact of a world changing event: D-Day\, one of history&rsquo\;s greatest and most unbelievable military and human triumphs. Though the full campaign lasted just over a month\, the surprise landing of over 150\,000 Allied troops on the morning of June 6\, 1944\, is understood to be the moment that turned the tide for the Allied forces and ultimately led to the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II. This book dives deep into the complexities&mdash\;from the secret creation of l anding plans by top government and military officials and organization of troops\, to the moment the boat doors opened to reveal the beach where men fought for their lives and the future of the free world.
