Recensione:

“Max Hastings’s reportage of the battle is not unworthy to stand with that of the best journalists and writers who witnessed it. . . . A tribute to his skills as a historian.” –John Keegan, The New York Times Book Review“Hastings combines a quick, clear prose with provocative and often brilliant analysis. His conclusions are sharp yet sound, his research through, and his history incisive. Of the many books that have been written on Normandy, it is quite simply the best.” –Dallas Morning News“A brilliant and concise account.” –The Washington Post Book World “A fine account of the strategy and tactics of the campaign.  The author has been shot at himself. . . . This has done marvels for quickening his understanding of what such landings are like, and adds an extra cutting edge to his book.  He goes over a well-worn path, full of pitfalls, and falls into none of them.”  – The Economist
