Osprey's Campaign title for the Normandy campaign of World War II (1939-1945). D-Day, 6 June 1944, saw the largest amphibious landing operation in history. From ports and harbours on the southern coast of England, an armada of troopships and landing craft launched the Allied return to mainland Europe. Stephen Badsey provides a concise account of the Normandy campaign, from the fiercely contested landings, to the struggle to capture Caen, the 'Cobra' offensive and the dramatic pursuit of the Germans to the River Seine. This was the crucial campaign of the Western theatre: after the Battle of Normandy the only question was how soon the war would end, not who would win it.

A great book for those who want to get a more than general idea about the Normandy invasion. The photo on the cover shows my father's division as they landed. He was killed in action about two months after landing and I was researching his death. This book helped me understand what these great men were up against.

4.0 out of 5 stars A quick and dirty summary of Normandy
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2002
We are taking a group of graduate students and professors to Normandy this year for a staff ride of the D-Day landings. This will be the required book for everyone, but supplemented by a long list of more detailed books. It is fabulous for a quick overview of what happened, and my favorite thing about Osprey books is the maps. The maps are worth the price by themselves. Not as good as other Osprey books I have used but still well worth the price as a visual supplement to your further readings.

全般的にはよくまとまっていると思います。ただ戦闘の経過を示すイラストや写真がもっとあってもよかったかな。上陸前後だけでなくその後のドイツ軍の崩壊（ファレーズ）まで書いてます。英語を勉強しながら戦史も知りたい人にはお勧めのシリーズでしょう。

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good for a light introduction
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 28, 2012

Having read around 50 books on WWII, I wanted to have an illustrated light overview on Overlord.

I was not disapointed and quite happy with the treatment of the landings that the book offers.
The authors describes the operations with simple words and frankly with a skilled clarity of thoughts.
One minus would be the lack of passion. The book is certainly a serious piece of work and decent but lacks a bit of enthusiasm.

This is an old osprey but one thing I have noticed is that the layout is not always helping the reading. For example, the maps, text and photographs are always mingled together and its frankly sometimes hard to follow.

Recomended for anyone looking for a light intro on the subject.
