This is far more than a book. It is a curriculum and a fun experience. I loved it and I have not even listened to the CD yet. The graphics are beautiful, the text wonderful as well as accurate and interesting. The very best part is the inclusion of some 60 reproductions of documents associated with the war. Operations orders, leaflets, diaries, paper money, and more--much more. Of course most people know about the critical weather decision on June 5th, but I certainly had never seen the weather map for the day and with the book you can not only see it (the weaher map), but also hold (a reproduction of) it, but study it and transport yourself back to the briefing room. The overall reproduction quality of the included items is good or better. I wrote a World War II book with the subtitle "history in your hands," but my hat is off to Julian Thompson because he trumped our effort.
I saw this while I was in Normandy for the D-Day celebration this year; the experience was amazing and this book was provided on the coffee table where I stayed. I liked it so much I bought one for me and one for my dad for Fathers Day; he LOVED it!
My father and I enjoyed this fantastic memory book from the war that many of us are just beginning to discover.
This book and others in the series have added a new dimension, involving the reader with reproductions of maps and documents from the era. I have been giving the to my dad a gifts and will be looking for the next one to come out.
