This book closely follows the movements of individual units of the two divisions. As a result, it tends to move too slowly for those interested in the overall picture, but is perfect for those interested in the daily actions of the units.

It also explains why the British didn't gain their D-Day objectives until almost two months after landing.

The number of commanding officers replaced in two units was amazing to me. But I wonder who was really at fault, as some of the situations the units encountered they were never trained for.
