The Tide Turns D-Day Invasion (Graphic History 9): On D-Day, 6 June, 1944, an Allied force led by General Dwight D Eisenhower launched the greatest seaborne military invasion in history. Over 150,000 Allied soldiers landed on the beaches of Normandy, France, in an operation that paved the way for the freedom of Nazi-occupied Europe and the end of Hitler's terrifying regime. Through this exciting comic strip narrative, Doug Murray dramatically brings to life the events of the momentous D-Day landings; a single day which forever altered the course of World War II.

Hitler's Last Gamble Battle of the Bulge (Graphic History 11): Secretly planned down to the last detail by Hitler himself, the "Battle of the Bulge" was the last major German attack on the Western Front. On December 16, 1944, thirty German divisions roared across the Allied front in an attack intended to split them in two. The battle that ensued nearly proved disastrous for the American forces and witnessed some of the harshest fighting conditions of the entire war. However, despite the Americans being under-equipped and under strength, Hitler's offensive was stopped; extinguishing any hopes of German victory. This book vividly recreates an attack remembered as the biggest and bloodiest single battle American soldiers have ever fought.

Deadly Inferno: Battle of the Wilderness (Graphic History 12: 'The Wilderness' encompassed a 70-square-mile expanse of virtually impenetrable woodland in central Virginia, so dense it made conventional warfare impossible. The first battle of Lieutenant General Ulyysses S Grant's 1864 Overland Campaign against the Army of Northern Virginia, the Wilderness witnessed some of the fiercest fighting of the Civil War. Though outnumbered, General Lee's forces posed stiff resistance to Grant's offensive. At the end of the three-day battle, the outcome was uncertain, and the fight ended in a draw. Brilliantly illustrating one of the American Civil War's most tactically challenging battles, this comic strip narrative brings to life a completely new type of warfare; the likes of which had never been fought before on American soil.
