The Warrior of D-Day

Robert Marino

An unforgettable WWII novel about courage, sacrifice, and the making of an American hero. Will Hartman never expected to become a soldier. Growing up poor in rural Nebraska, he learned responsibility early — raising his little sister, helping his overworked mother, and surviving hardships that would break most boys long before the war ever began. Drafted at eighteen, Will is thrown from the plains of home into the crucible of World War II. After grueling training and the brutal North Africa campaign, he joins the 29th Infantry Division for the deadliest mission of the war: the D-Day landing on Omaha Beach. On Dog Green — the bloodiest sector of the invasion — Will discovers a strength he never knew he had. Surrounded by chaos, fear, and impossible choices, he’s forced to rise as a leader when it matters most. But every act of courage carries a cost, and the hedgerows of Normandy will demand more from him than he ever imagined. A story of brotherhood, heartbreak, and heroism, The Warrior of D-Day delivers: ✔ Raw, emotional combat scenes ✔ Powerful character growth ✔ A gripping moral struggle ✔ A young soldier’s transformation under fire ✔ A tribute to the men who stormed Omaha Beach Perfect for readers of All the Light We Cannot See, The Things They Carried, Saving Private Ryan, and historical war fiction with heart. Some heroes are made. Others are forged in fire. Will Hartman is both.
