All six chapters include personal stories of those people caught up in the various attacks, and are a powerful testament to the indiscriminate effect of bombing of towns and cities in war time. The use of area bombing by all the main nations involved in the Second World War remains a controversial issue. This book does not touch on the political aspects, but provides a very useful commentary on the subject in relation to one city, and the people who lived and worked there.

The development of tanks and guns continued after WWI and this new book provides a fascinating selection of designs from the 1920s to the 1940s. The early tanks of WWI were lumbering mobile pill boxes. This book bridges the designs between the first tanks and the armoured fighting vehicles of WWII. -Highly Recommended

There are some useful tactical details, but the reader's chief impression will be the overwhelming mix of emotions experienced by those landing on the beaches - fear, relief, horror, comradeship, and the occasional bizarre or humorous incident. One of the problems of reading history if that we know the outcome: this volume is a welcome antidote that places you in the minds of those men that day, for whom the outcome was anything but certain.
