Len Lomell D-Day Hero

July 20, 2024 By

$15.00

By Steven M. Gillon:  The exhilarating, inspiring story of Len Lomell, an Army Ranger who, on D-Day, almost single-handedly knocked out the big German guns before they could fire on the American invasion force, and whose later exploits spanned the most dramatic battles of World War II.

In this stirring, action-packed book, Steven Gillon details the incredibly heroic actions on D-Day—and throughout World War II—that ultimately won Len Lomell the Distinguished Service Cross, a Silver Star, and a Bronze Star. Lomell was later praised by Stephen Ambrose as the single most important person in the success of D-Day after General Eisenhower.
