D-Day: The Battle for Normandy Audiobook

" An excellent detailed account of the D-Day invasion by one of the best modern war historians. "

" Good history but kind of a dry read, lacking personal take on the war. "

" A long book - worth the read! History, anecdotes, amazing insights to an incredible reality "

" Again, Beevor gives us an insight, which gives us the feeling of being watching that fight happening in front of us. The biggest operatio. Ever made in the war, with thousands and thiusands of human lives destroyed, which resulted in the German defeat some months later, couldn't be better told. "

" Great detail. Good narrative. "

" This book doesn't stop with the invasion, but follows the battles through to the liberation of Paris. It is detailed, and does not sugar coat the events. "

" Once again a great Beevor book "

" A superb book by a great modern historian. Well-written, balanced, and packed full of information and action. Highly recommended. Should be mandatory reading for all Americans. "

" Really good book if you are into the history of WWII and D-Day. The author really digs into the day to day happenings of both the Colition forces as well as the German forces which gives a great perspective from both sides. "

" One of the best books, Besides Cornelius Ryan's the Longest Day on the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Not only does it cover the Normandy invasion, But other battles fought in France throughout the liberation of Paris in August, 1944. "

" Antony Beevor is excellent as always. Just started this and like it muchly. Now finished. Brilliant. "

" Well written, provided an excellent description of the planning & execution of the greatest amphibious operation in military history... "

" Another big, big, detailed book "

" Excellent book. Reads like a novel but covers the ground in an awesome manner. I feared that I would battle to get through it but was really sad that it took such a sjhort time to finish. Read it. "

" Good book but very long - places, names, battles became hard to follow. Needed a huge map of France/Normandy instead of lots of small focused maps of areas. "

" Really good overview of D-Day. Very comprehensive, covering the activities of the US, British, Canadian, and even German forces during D-Day. "

" Really enjoyed this book. Very fast paced and riveting. A must read! "

" Antony Beevor is excellent as always. Just started this and like it muchly. Now finished. Brilliant. "

" Once again a great Beevor book "

" A good survey of the events of D Day but if you are looking for something more in depth you might want to look elsewhere. It often feels like you are just getting a list of events rather than any sort of insight into the how and why of the decisions that were made. Solid, but unremarkable. "

" I made it past the beaches but then I got bogged down on the road to Carentan. "

" An excellent book, well worth reading. Extensive detail but not at all boring. My highest recommendation. "

" Antony Beevor's books on WWII never cease to impress me. Very well researched and easy to read. "

" revisions continue...admission of killing prisoners...poor leadership of the British...allies won because they had luck and the American industrial backbone "
