Recommended reading

There are understandably numerous books which cover D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. From individual memoirs to grand overviews with everything in between. Below is a list of books which I have enjoyed and/or found useful to give an overview of the events. Keegan's Six Armies in Normandy is one to which I have an emotional attachment as it was the first proper book I read regarding the Battle of Normandy; it's one of the reasons I'm doing what I do now. Foley's Mailed Fist is a personal favourite for various reasons and, along with Johns' Clay Pigeons of St-Lô, one of the best memoirs I've ever read.

Aside from new books, I've not included hyperlinks. Some are are no longer in print, your favourite search engine should yield results and point you in the path of one or more online book sellers. Alternatively, your local library might be able to help.

 

I'll update this periodically as new books, at least ones I like, are published.
