Liberation of Europe or Iron Curtain? - By: Nathaniel Luxor, 13 Mar 2010 
I looked forward to reading this book immensely, & I was disappointed.
I highly recommend to read the following "CENSORED" books:
1) "THE HOAX OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY" by Arthur R. Butz.
2) "NOT GUILTY AT NUREMBERG" by Carlos W. Porter.
3) "FLASH POINT, Kristalllnacht 1938. Instigators, victims & beneficiaries" by Ingrid Weckert.
4) "ALBERT SPEER: The End of a Myth" by Matthias Schmidt.
Another Triumph from Beevor - By: William Munny, 13 Mar 2010 
Another readable & informative historical account from Beevor, maintaining the high standards set with Stalingrad & Berlin. Outstanding.
Puts you squarely into the bocage - By: Maxwell Stone, 09 Mar 2010 Antony Beevor has done it again with a cracking account of the D-Day landings & the battle across France. What makes this such a good read is the way he mixes detailed strategic accounts with personal anecdotes. This helps to bring the subject alive in an extremely effective manner.
My only slight reservation is the extent of the criticism levelled at Montgomery. Now, I accept that he had his faults but I think Beevor's account is a little one sided. He bases many of his opinions on Carlo D'Este's writings which is fine if he provides a balance - which he does not do. For an alternative view try The Lonely Leader by Alistair Horne.
D-Day - By: Annailesstevenson, 21 Feb 2010 An excellent book,in the Bevoir style,The historical knowledge & facts & his writing style makes this another book not to miss.( my husbands review)Birthday present!
Real-life history - red in tooth and claw. - By: Kenneth J. Morris, 21 Feb 2010 Awesome but awful. This meticulously researched & detailed account of the D-Day campaign should be required reading for alll secondary school history students. It is not an easy read nor is it a pleasant read. But it is a stark reminder of the hell to which tens of thousands of our young soldiers, sailors & airmen & their US & Commonwealth alllies were subjected. Beevor covers the lot - the successes, the failures, the politics & the personalities & with extremely helpful maps to keep the reader in the picture. Excellent in every respect.
