Stephen Fisher is one of the best kept secrets in military history. With his wealth of knowledge and exacting eye for detail, his book on D-Day is sure to impress a vast audience' Dan Snow'Stephen Fisher... is a very rare beast - a man who can bring stunning research and scholarship hand-in-glove with the gifts of a fine storyteller' James Holland'Written with verve and panache, I can almost hear the splash of waves against the LCTs, the whine of bullets overhead, feel the concussive thud of shells and mortars, and experience the rush of sweat, fear and adrenaline as Fisher describes the opening battle in Normandy on that day of all days - D Day on Sword Beach. It's a brilliant evocation of one of the greatest days in history, and Fisher has done it proud. Bravo!' Robert Lyman, author of Victory to Defeat: The British Army 1918-1940_________6th June 1944 saw the largest seaborne assault in human history: D-Day. The landings on the five Normandy beaches, Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword, will go down in legend as the first footsteps on the journey to end the war in northern Europe. While much has been written about the operation as a whole, little detailed attention has been paid to the battle for Sword Beach itself, the easternmost of the amphibious attack areas. For the first time, historian and archaeologist Stephen Fisher puts the British landing under the spotlight and using previously unseen research, documents and personal testimonies pieces together the buildup, the day itself and its aftermath in such a way as to uniquely bring the operation to vivid life. Following a massive air and naval bombardment that began before the sun had even risen, the stage was set for the first of tens of thousands of troops to come ashore on Sword that day. It was to be a day of triumph and tragedy as the Allies pushed forward to the key objective of Caen against German defenders who were, uniquely on D-Day, backed up by an armoured division. Never before has this campaign been afforded such insightful and detailed scrutiny. Stephen Fisher brings his considerable knowledge and expertise to paint a thrilling picture of how the deep beachhead was established and pays tribute to the heroism and sacrifices that were made on that fateful day.

The only MagSafe charger you’ll ever need..!!
Color: Black
Yet another AWESOME charger from Anker..!! Unlike cheaper MagSafe chargers, this one almost reaches out and grabs your phone when you’re attaching it for charging.. Holds your phone securely for bedside mode at night and there’s no need for a 25W charger that’s more expensive.. Just a perfect size and works well… looks no further…. This is the bedside charger to get..!!

Actual, honest-to-goodness fast charging
Color: Black
After unsuccessfully buying two different so-called "fast" chargers that completely lied about their charging ability, specifically for the Apple watch, I finally bought this one. What a world of difference! I have an Apple watch ultra, which is fantastic on battery life, and I appreciate that I can actually wear it while I sleep. I have to charge it about every day and a half, which means that sometimes I need to top it up while I'm at work. (Alternatively, I could be a slave about charging it every day at home, but part of the reason I switched to the Ultra is to not have to be that obsessive about charging.) Anyway, I needed a good charger at work. I ordered one that claimed to be 5W watch charging, and it blatantly lied. It took over an hour to get about 20% of a charge. I ordered another, similar results. This one is night and day different. My watch will fully charge at the posted speeds Apple boasts about with fast chargers. If it's running a little low during the day, I can pop it on the charger for 20-30 minutes and have enough juice to last through my hour+ swim workout, no problem. The phone charger is fast, too, and if you use a magsafe case, it has a very firm hold. Without a magsafe case, your phone may drop off the charger (mine did), which is frustrating. Since I have another magsafe charger at home, I just bought a new case (they're cheap) and now I'm super happy with this. The contact charger on the back will work to charge your phone (or a second phone) or earbuds, too. Very happy with this purchase. It's a bit pricier than the cheapo other brands, but it actually freaking works and charges quickly. It's worth the money.

Secure Mount With Premium Feel
This phone mount feels incredibly sturdy once installed. No shaking or movement while driving, even on rough roads. The design looks clean and factory installed instead of bulky like a lot of other mounts. It holds the phone securely and keeps it easy to access for navigation.

Solid Product
I was a bit skeptical based on the price ($85 total after taxes) but you can tell that for the price, this thing is sturdy and high quality. Holds solid onto the vent and keeps my iPhone in place. Easy to adjust and move to your liking, also easy to turn 90* and have your phone sideways. Only drawback is that is obstructs the view of the clock on my 4Runner and slightly obstructs my windshield, but I am sure I will get used to it.
