The D-Day Atlas: anatomy of the Normandy campaign This impressively illustrated study by Charles Messenger, re-released to mark the 80th anniversary of D Day this summer, chronicles the evolution of the Normandy invasion plan, the Allied coastal landings by sea and air, and the subsequent six-week struggle to break through the entrenched German defences.
