Handy companion for a WW2 tour of the Beaches- By: Rob, 02 Aug 2006 Ok, not entirely suited to the Normandy Beaches tourist but still a useful book I found. The bits that concerned the WW2 sites were informative & maps easy to find/follow. This coupled with a road map & some history books really made the "Discover the history of the Landings" trip for me. Small enough to carry on my motorbike tank bag & also interesting enough to read @ night it was a good last minute buy. An added bonus was the fact that the Channel Islands are featuredin this guide too, somewhere else I am planning to see for the WW2 aspect soon.
