Book Reviews of The D-Day Companion
Book Review: Balanced, modern D-Day history
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this high quality book. 12 experts from Britain and the U.S. tell the story of the invasion at Normandy. The mix of historians from both nations helps provide a balanced point of view. The latest research and facts are included. The photos and maps add color and flow. Have not seen much better.
Summary of The D-Day Companion
Published to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Normandy Landings, 'The D-Day Companion' book brings together the perspectives and opinions of leading military historians from both sides of the Atlantic. Operation Overlord saw the Allied Generals Eisenhower and Montgomery pit their wits against Hitler in a bold bid to liberate continental Europe. Featuring a foreword by Major Richard Winters, real-life commander of Easy Company as featured in Stephen E Ambrose's 'Band of Brothers', this is a unique and incisive examination of the momentous events that surrounded June 6, 1944. Each chapter of this new book focuses on a different aspect of the D-Day landings, from the build-up to the attack to the experiences of the troops on the ground.General Books
