“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.” — General George Patton
Featuring the art of Keith Rocco who recently finished 2 new huge wall murals at the First Division Museum in Cantigny Park outside of Chicago.
Dozens of color paintings, hundreds of images, including additional illustrations done by Rocco for this book.
In images and words this new book honors the courage of the men of the Big Red One (BRO) at Omaha Beach, Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944, and the following day. Keith’s meticulous research, aided by the museum staff, archives, and artifacts of the First Infantry Division Museum enabled him to produce large, detailed landscapes and portraits that capture the incredible action of these two fateful days.
112 pages, hardcover. Format: 8-1/2″ x 11″. As an added bonus, you will receive a two-sided, trifold insert featuring both Rocco murals AND a second foldout insert by filmmaker and artist Michael Akkerman that shows German uniforms & equipment, with illustrations of the German defenses as they appeared on June 6, 1944 PLUS a detailed map of all 5 invasion beaches at the end of June 6 with thought-provoking “what-if” conjecture had the landing at Omaha Beach failed and the troops were redirected to the other beaches.
Also included as a a bonus with your order, we will include a copy of “Bloody Omaha” – a 20 page illustrated history featuring excerpts from the murals PLUS a few extras!
