accessible history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
James Carafano has succeeded in writing a very interesting and accessible history of a battle much ignored until now. I think even non-historians will find his easy reading style and revealing insights a pleasure. Former WWII soldiers should find it especially exciting to read. The book has been so thoroughly researched that it could be used as a guide for retracing the battle in France. I would recommend it to anyone planning a visit to Normandy. I wish the maps were a bit more complete and pictures had been included but all in all, Carafano's imagery makes up for that.
