Simply Outstanding - By: Clive R Parrott, 22 Jun 2003 I write this having returned from a week exploring Normandy, I saw many books while there but none were so comprehensivein there coverage of the memorials, cemetries & bunkers of Normandy. This is an absolutely essential book if you wish to find every small corner & memorial(including those on private land. For one week it was by my side everywhere I went.
The Map is clear & easy to use enabling easy location of all places of interest. If you buy one book, make it this one.
A must for anyone wanting to tour the WWII sites of Normandy - By: , 19 Jan 2001 This book is an absolute MUST for anyone with an interestin the Normandy invasion. The map that comes free with the book is comprehensive & useful & the suggested tours are worked out to perfection. The directions are easy to follow, the timing accurate & opening times & entry charges to museums is extremely useful. It can be so frustrating to turn up to a museumin France only to discover it's closed for two hours. With Major & Mrs Holt you need never have this problem again. They also cover other points of interest along the way, ie there are details of the war cemetry & Battle of Normandy museumin Bayeux, but they also give details about the tapestry. We thought we had covered most of the WWII museums before we bought the book but we've hardly scratched the surface. But this is not just a guide book, there is plenty of background information to D-Day, it's leaders, & the various battles themselves. Don't visit Normandy without it.
