A quick and dirty summary of Normandy

We are taking a group of graduate students and professors to Normandy this year for a staff ride of the D-Day landings. This will be the required book for everyone, but supplemented by a long list of more detailed books. It is fabulous for a quick overview of what happened, and my favorite thing about Osprey books is the maps. The maps are worth the price by themselves. Not as good as other Osprey books I have used but still well worth the price as a visual supplement to your further readings.

Re-named reprint

Excellent Osprey book, however it is a reprint of the 1990 campaign series book with a new cover. If you have never bought this book before under the old title it is worth buying. Very detailed maps and drawings along with good quality photographs.
