This review is from: Operation Overlord: Gold & Juno Beaches 6 June 1944 (Order of Battle, 2) (Paperback)

This is the second out of four books which cover the Allied landings in Normandy. One of the best things about this book is that it discribes the landing by unit. The book starts with a brief discription of the entire operation. It then goes on with the divisional history and battle of order of the involved divisions and units. It continues with discribing the operation. Each unit involved is handled seperately. Both the Canadian 3rd Division as the British 50th (Northumbrian)Infantry Division are covered in this book.

Not a brilliant book but is gives you an idea how the involved units were participating in the operations.

The complete history is told very briefly but it gives you a good indication of what happened. The stories are supported by photographs and maps. A very compact book.
