D-Day: The Battle for Normandy is a Comprehensive AccountBy HammarheadThere are more then a few books detailing the Allied invasion in the pivotal battle of the 2nd world war. And there are none better than Anthony Beevor's. This is a masterful account that seeming leaves nothing out. The invasion from the opening glider and airborne attacks to the liberation of Paris is told with almost any major and many lesser known stories included. If you like this book as much as I did be sure to read his followup book on the Battle of the Bulge.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
