Feedback from Dewie J. Gaul on Tuesday, 6 August 2002

Rates this book:

This book is very balanced, very well-researched, and is an exceptionally good book on the Normandy campaign. It is fair but leaves it clear that Montgomery was not a great and able strategist. The whole controversy over the Falaise Gap is an intriguing one, and though I have read much on D-Day and its aftermath I did not have a good view of the events of the summer of 1944 in France till I read this excellent book.

We welcome and encourage your thoughtful feedback about this book. Unfortunately, due to a few hooligans, all feedback must be manually reviewed and approved before it is displayed. We'll take care of that as soon as possible. Please be patient. Thanks.
