There Was Nothing You Could Do : Bruce Springsteen’s “Born In The U.S.A.” and the End of the Heartland

I love Bruce Sprigsteen, and even saw him live in London - absolutely awesome. This new book is a thought-provoking exploration of Bruce Springsteen's iconic album, Born in the U.S.A.-a record that both chronicled and foreshadowed the changing tides of modern AmericaOn June 4, 1984, Columbia Records issued what would become one of the best-selling and most impactful rock albums of all time. Bruce Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A. would prove itself to be a landmark not only for the man who made it, but rock music in general and even the larger American culture over the next 40 years.

A fascinating new insight into an iconic but brutal part of WW2.

Based on over 150 audio interviews with those who fought, this is a moving and powerful oral history that marks the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings and battle for Normandy. Published alongside a groundbreaking BBC2 documentary series D-Day: The Unheard Tapes. D-Day was a critical turning point in the Second World War, but for the tens of thousands of young men who took part it was bloody, chaotic and terrifying.

For those who survived the beaches, months of bitter fighting lay ahead, often against some of Germany's most elite divisions. Drawing primarily on the extraordinary archives of the Imperial War Museums and National World War II Museum, this immersive book describes what it was actually like to take part in the landings on 6 June 1944 and the weeks of ferocious fighting in Normandy that followed. British, American, Canadian and German veterans, as well as French civilians, speak of experiences they could never forget.

Here is the forward observer hiding alone on Omaha beach, thinking of his wife as he waits for the invasion to begin. The commando racing to the besieged airborne forces at Pegasus Bridge. The Typhoon pilot about to be executed by the SS when he is saved by a Luftwaffe officer.

The teenage GI surrounded and under fire for six days. The German soldier haunted by the memory of abandoning his dying friend. Their words reach across the decades as they share their experiences with us.

D-Day was 80 years ago today. This huge armada was a turning point in the war, thousands of casualties from the allied forces. My late Grandad was "volunteered" for a morse code course and was therefore saved from the horrors of the beaches. This was a saving grace from the horrors of the beaches. If you can pop by the control tower on Greenham Common for a day of commemorative events including a display of military vehicles and the US Airforce.
