Field Marshal Montgomery's battle plan for Normandy, following the D-day landings on June 6, 1944, resulted in one of the most controversial campaigns of the Second World War. Carlo D'Este's acclaimed book gives the fullest possible account of the conception and execution of Montgomery's plan, with all its problems and complexities. It brings to light information from diaries, papers, and letters that were not available in Montgomery's lifetime and draws on interviews with senior officers who were involved in the campaign and have refrained from speaking out until now. This is military history at its most dramatic and destined to become the definitive account of the Normandy campaign.… (mer)

A great flip side to Ambrose's D Day book. This is HOW ccampaigns are PLANNED and then EXECUTED. But reading a great deal of background material will help enormausly (

Gives a birds-eye perspective on the Normandy campaign, with an emphasis on Montgomery's leadership. One of the fairest assessments by an American, I think, concluding that Montgomery's strengths were not best suited to a campaign which required rapid readjustment and a high-degree of risk-taking. Readers who like to know what war was like for individual soliders may find the book disappointing, but those more interested in strategy and politics will enjoy it immensely. (

Very well researched and even-handed work on the Allied Plan and Action (and how they differed, despite Montgomery's assertions) during the battle of Normandy, from the pre landing to the aftermath. (

2452 Decision in Normandy, by Carlo D'Este (read 5 Jul 1992) This is a very balanced, very well-researched, and an exceptionally good book on the Normandy campaign. It is fair but leaves it clear that Montgomery was not a great and able strategist. The whole controversy over the Falaise Gap is an intriguing one. and though I have read much on D-Day and its aftermath I did not have a good view of the events of the summer of 1944 in France till I read this excellent book (

Introduction
The great Allied invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944 was the most complex and daring military operation in the history of modern warfare, the culmination of over three years of conception, argument, counterargument and the most detailed planning ever undertaken.
