Overlord by Max Hastings
Acclaimed historian Sir Max Hastings' masterly account of the D-Day landings in 1944, as the Allies battled to take control of Normandy from the German army.
Max Hastings's reportage of the battle is not unworthy to stand with that of the best journalists and writers who witnessed it. . A tribute to his skills as a historian. -- John Keegan * New York Times Book Review *
A masterly book, rich in insight, shrewd and weighty in judgement…Max Hastings stands in the first rank of writers on modern war. * Financial Times *
A fine account of the strategy and tactics of the campaign. The author has been shot at himself . . . This has done marvels for quickening his understanding of what such landings are like, and adds an extra cutting edge to his book. He goes over a well-worn path, full of pitfalls, and falls into none of them. * Economist *
