Colour illustration and maps. 256 pages clean and tight. On 6 June 1944, in the most complex military operation of all time, the Allied armies landed on the beaches of Normandy to begin the task of freeing mainland Europe from Nazi occupation. This new, comprehensive guide book to the Normandy Landing Beaches is much more than a simple guide book. Through the use of especially contributed eyewitness accounts the events of June 1944 come dramatically alive. This is also the only book written by authors who tour the area cn a regular basis, guiding groups of veterans and interested people around the beaches and inland areas. Tonie and Valmai Holt know the questions travellers ask and provide the answers via detailed indexes to memorials and museums, as well as a general index to places and people. Their five detailed battlefield tours are easy to follow. This book has numerous photographs, many in colour, as well as helpful diagrams with military information and sketch maps combining current road numbers with 1944 actions, which are a boon to navigation and to understanding. To balance military enthusiasm it also contains a wealth of practical tourist information and advice, developed over years of personal experience by the authors. This is an essential companion for everyone visiting the Normandy beaches. N° de réf. du vendeur 143526
