Title: Excellent D-Day account
Product review: This is one of the best books on D-Day that I've read. The author used sources that date from much closer in time to June 6, 1944 than some other works. Many of the accounts are from unit histories/interviews written days or weeks after the invasion. The amount of time and effort taken to knit together reports from different units into a seamless chronology was impressive. The maps were quite good and supplemented the text well, but were difficult to read with a Kindle 3G. I ended up reading with a tablet, which is more of an observation than complaint. I thought one of the appendices that addressed Medal of Honor recipients (only 3 and all from the 1st Division) and theories of why there weren't more was interesting also.
