Major and Mrs. Holt's Battlefield Guide to the Normandy Landings Book

Toni and Valmai Holt have received considerable attention for their remarkable guides to the World War I battlefields of The Somme and Ypres. They have now produced a similar volume for the World War It battlefields associated with the Normandy landings. The Holt guides are aimed at those wishing to make an extensive tour of the battlefield, but also make for gripping reading for those simply wishing to know more details about this historic region.

This full color guide is divided into a series of "itineraries, " each with a map, backed up by a large full color, fold-out map of the entire region. The five D-Day landing beaches, the airborne drop zones, and surviving fortifications are covered, as well as all cemeteries, memorials, museums, local accommodation, and other points of interest. Each major personality and the spot where all major decorations were won are also described. Potential visitors and those interested in the finer details of the Normandy campaign will never find a more exhaustive guide to one of history's most famous events.
