If Chaos Reigns by Flint Whitlock
Gentlemen, do not be daunted if chaos reigns; it undoubtedly will. So said Brigadier S. James Hill, commanding officer of the British 3rd Parachute Brigade, in an address to his troops shortly before the launching of Operation Overlord, the D-Day invasion of Normandy.
.. provides a really excellent and well balanced view of the airborne operations on D-Day as well as tackling the background that led up to the events on that most famous of days. * www.militarymodelling.com *
All in all I found this book very interesting and informative. I have been to Normandy several times and in reading this book I have learnt a few things that I was unaware of and this book has helped in my understanding of some battles, particularly around Ranville and Benouville. A great book, well worth a read for anyone who is interested in the invasion of Normandy, in particular the airborne/glider phase. * www.arrse.com *
This is an examination of the Normandy landings that concentrates exclusively on the activities of the American, British, and Canadian airborne forces that descended upon Normandy in the dark, pre-dawn hours of 6 June 1944. Drawing on numerous first-hand accounts, Whitlock details not only the formation, training and deployment of the Allies’ parachute and glider troops, but the events on the ground at the many targets. * Britain at War *
