Max Hastings has a skill I would have given much to acquire - the ability to make boring stuff interesting. Having said that, this was an early book and he got better as he went on.
I have read many Normandy books and this is by far the best (it is also the best book written by Max Hastings). In particular, what makes this book better than others is its erudite focus on military matters, and the author's fairness and honesty regarding the German and allied experiences -with regard to the latter, the author is willing to kill many 'sacred cows'.
Excellent
