Omaha Beach: 6/6/1944

Georges Bernage

Heimdal, 2002

A vivid visual look at a famous battle
Not long ago, I read and reviewed Joseph Balkoski's "Omaha Beach" and somewhat lamented the absence of really adequate maps to better show what had happened, linking the small unit actions with the bigger picture. I must say tha Georges Bernage's book is the perfect ...
