I am looking for a few good authors on Normandy and the European campaigns of WWII.
I have read these and I am looking for authors who don't rehash the same old info/stories - new perspectives,
but backed by real documented facts: Balkowski, Beevor, Hastings, Lane, Keegan, Ambrose, etc.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Pegasus Bridge.
Not what Americans did, but it was one of the most highly planned, well executed missions of the war.
