  Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, stands as one of the most significant military operations in modern history. Known globally as D-Day, it marked the beginning of the end of Nazi occupation in Western Europe and paved the way for the eventual defeat of Adolf Hitler’s regime. The operation was not only a turning point in World War II but also in the broader scope of 20th-century history, reshaping the political, military, and cultural landscape of Europe. 
    
  The importance of D-Day lies in its magnitude and complexity. It was the largest amphibious invasion ever attempted, involving over 156,000 Allied troops from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, supported by thousands of aircraft, ships, and landing vehicles. The scale of the operation reflected the urgency and determination of the Allies to open a second front in Europe, relieving pressure on the Soviet Union in the east and setting the stage for the liberation of France and the rest of Western Europe. 
    
  D-Day's significance can also be seen in the way it exemplified the combined effort of different Allied nations, each contributing their expertise and resources to a unified cause. American forces, under the leadership of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, provided much of the manpower and logistical support. British forces contributed vital naval and air power, while Canadian troops played a crucial role in the assault on Juno Beach. This collaboration was a testament to the strength of the Allies’ commitment to defeating the Axis powers, despite the political and cultural differences that existed between them.

  An expanded edition of the first practical, nonjudgmental handbook for dealing with microaggressions, featuring examples, sample scripts, action plans, a new discussion and activity guide, and up-to-date suggestions for creating a culture of belonging in the workplace. 
   
  Overt discrimination is relatively easy to spot. But the less obvious but more common actions that make people feel left out or stigmatized in our workplaces, commonly called microaggressions, can be hard to identify and even harder to deal with. 
   
  The author use a clearer, more accurate term: subtle acts of exclusion (SAE). After all, people generally aren't trying to be aggressive-usually they're trying to say something nice, learn more about a person, or be funny. Bring accused of aggression shuts the conversation down, when you want to open it up.   
   
  This book features examples, tools, sample scripts, and action plans to help readers prevent subtle acts of aggression from happening, or deal with them when they do. Updated throughout, this second edition features: 
   
  -	A greatly expanded chapter on "intentional acts of inclusion"-actions for creating a sense of belonging. 
  -	A discussion and activity guide ideal for book clubs and training sessions 
  -	A new concluding chapter, Hope for Humanity 
   
  Whether in the form of stereotypes, assumptions, backhanded compliments, or objectification, SAEs are damaging to our coworkers, friends, and acquaintances. This book is your friendly, accessible, non-judgemental guide to creating a welcoming workplace.
