Customer Reviews
Not as exciting as the real thing
I bought this as I consider these two small actions to be some of the most exciting and heroic of the Brits in WWII.
However, I found it inconsistant and muddled. It frequently switched from being a History book to a Guide book.
My thirst was eventually quenched by Stephen Ambrose's book.
Great if your'e planning a tour
I found this book to be an enjoyable and fascinating read on one of the most overlooked aspects of the Normandy invasion.
The book is essentially a travel guide, with a detailed narrative followed by directions enabling you to re-trace the steps of those involved.
The book is written by one of Leger's Battlefields guides and he has written this book to cater for History buffs and people who are planning a trip or have been on a trip to the sites.
I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in WW2.
