YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH MAJ HOLT'S (7/8 people found this helpful)
If you doing any battlefield tours you will never go far wrong with getting the books by Holt's. informative, factual, easy to understand and packed with hints and tips a must for all budding historians.
Simply Outstanding (51/52 people found this helpful)
I write this having returned from a week exploring Normandy, I saw many books while there but none were so comprehensive in there coverage of the memorials, cemetries and bunkers of Normandy. This is an absolutely essential book if you wish to find every small corner and memorial(including those on private land. For one week it was by my side everywhere I went.
The Map is clear and easy to use enabling easy location of all places of interest. If you buy one book, make it this one.
A must for anyone wanting to tour the WWII sites of Normandy (84/85 people found this helpful)
This book is an absolute MUST for anyone with an interest in the Normandy invasion. The map that comes free with the book is comprehensive and useful and the suggested tours are worked out to perfection. The directions are easy to follow, the timing accurate and opening times and entry charges to museums is extremely useful. It can be so frustrating to turn up to a museum in France only to discover it's closed for two hours. With Major and Mrs Holt you need never have this problem again. They also cover other points of interest along the way, ie there are details of the war cemetry and Battle of Normandy museum in Bayeux, but they also give details about the tapestry. We thought we had covered most of the WWII museums before we bought the book but we've hardly scratched the surface. But this is not just a guide book, there is plenty of background information to D-Day, it's leaders, and the various battles themselves. Don't visit Normandy without it.
