But it seems that I have read two in the last month. I didn't mean to, but I read War and Peace. Then I read this little GEM:
He gives almost a minute by minute account of what happened on D-Day from both sides. He did many personal interviews and read many documents. This is a thorough rendering of the day, and it isn't boring!
It was written 51 years ago (the year of my birth, 1959), and it is a classic. I heartily recommend it.
It makes you appreciate World War II Vets that much more!
Now, on to reading Hitler, who caused it all to happen in the first place.
