Thanks. I'll probably give it a read at some point, but won't be in a hurry to get it.

Just picked up Craig Symonds new D-Day book, Neptune: The Allied Invasion of Europe, which promises to cover all the details leading up to D-Day. I really liked his book on Midway.

The Midway book has been on my list for a while. The only Midway specific books I've read are Shattered Sword by Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully which is primarily from Japanese sources & Miracle at Midway by Gordon Prange. Neptune looks like something I'm going to want to read too.

BTW - thanks for the pointers on the Balkoski books. Just got them from Amazon. They are both topez ebooks, but hey, Calibre is your friend!

I had forgotten that they're topaz. I got them a couple of years ago when they were briefly free from Stackpole & it's been a while since I've read them.
