This is one of the few books which also takes a closer look at the British Airborne landings in Normandy. Besides that the book gives you a complete view on the entire operation. The book starts with covering how the British and American Airborne Forces were raised. It then goes on with how they prepared for D-Day. Next in line are the operations on D-Day itself. The last part of the book is about the operation of the Airborne Forces in Normandy after D-Day. One of the best things about this book is that it is written by someone who was there himself. Mr. Crookenden was an officer in the 6th Airborne Division during the Normandy assault.
