Can anyone recommend the best treatments of the Normandy campaign. I know of the basic standbys, but have only read a couple and am interested in a few more with your endorsements.

Thanks.

Johnnie,

If you'd like to see some excellent on line volumes check out this thread at Run5

The one in particular of interest is Cross Channel Attack

Max Hastings - Overlord for sure. Really an excellent book.

I am reading Carlo D'Este - Decision In Normandy at the moment. A bit drier, but very interesting on the British situation.

John Keegan: Six Armies in Normandy - a great read if somewhat outdated

Niklas Zetterling: Normandy 1944; German Military Organization, Combat Power and Organizational Effectiveness - excellent and thorough book attacking a lot of the myths concerning the campaign in Normandy. Based on analyses of primary sources instead of popular notions dating back to shortly after the war.

Thanks for pointing out the Zetterling book - looks good (if not cheap)

The follow up to "Cross Channel Attack", entitled "Breakout and Pursuit" is also great.
