Review Always good to read a detailed account of one division's controbution to Operation Overlord. The detail is exceptional and fascinating. Source: Books MonthlyThis is a well told story and supported by photos, maps, fine artwork that the modellers among us will enjoy along with other bit of supporting information. Great too see this English language edition and well worth reading. Source: Military Model SceneA fine compilation of text, photos, artwork and maps, I thoroughly recommend this book to the enthusiast, modeller and armchair historian. Source: Scale Military Modelling International MagazineThis is is a condensed "Band of Brothers" with profiles of Richard Winters and Easy company as well as the German and American Generals . The descripion of the battles such as Carentan are as clear as you need them to be. I would suggest this series of books Men, Battles, Weapons would be the ideal starting place for sixth formers taking history of WW2 to start whilst still providing interest to the older reader. I am so pleased to have been able to review it." - 5 stars.
