"I gave the book 4 stars because in the begining was the best part because when they got out of the boats the japan had machine guns unloading on them. So they put the generals in the back so the non important solders would get shot fist. I would of boomed the land first so when we went on land we would of had no one shooting at us so we would of not died"
""I love it when a plan comes together" - Hannibal
Even at 600 pages, this is a quick read. It is more technical and tactical than "Band of Brothers" but Ambrose still puts a lot of personal stories of horror and heroism in there.
In a nutshell- Hitler made some BIG mistakes and the Allies had the benefit of luck and solid training on their side.
Read it with an atlas of the battle if you don't like flipping back and forth to maps."
"I see this as a must-read. Very well-written (I'll definitely check out more Ambrose books in the future, particularly an Eisenhauer biography). Comprehensive and detailed account of the preparations and execution of Operation Overlord (D-Day)."
"A great book that details the difficulties faced by allied forces in order to land, capture, and hold the beaches of Normandy. I especially liked the comparison of the opposing generals(Eisenhower and Rommel). A must read book for anyone who is interested in WWII and the struggles men faced to secure freedom for our time."
