This is an excellent book. Both the text and images are superb. I had no knowledge of this vehicle before reading Doyle's work, and yet I enjoyed reading, looking and learning about it so much, thanks to his lucid well organised text and the terrific photos, that I went out and bought two Revell 1/76 kits of the M7-Priest, and built two variants, using this book as reference. Very highly recommended.

The author has carried out extensive research during a four year period and from this epic research has produced a warts and all account of the preparation by the Rangers for their part in D-Day and the results of that preparation in attacking the assigned targets. Inevitably, this has produced many new insights
and overturned a number of previously accepted historical views. No punches have been pulled and this will become a standard work to benefit future historians, containing very detailed primary source material that has just become available after some 70 years of restriction as TOP SECRET material.

The book uses a wide range of archive photos, making use of those images captured by US military photographers and a few from the Bundesarchiv as well. Added to these are plenty of modern day location comparisons, maps and aerial photos from the time compared to modern day Google Earth imagery, which create some interesting comparisons. It also makes a point of considering how the casualties were handled, the treatment and evacuation of the wounded as well as how they handled the deaths, and establishment of the various War Cemeteries... A knowledgeable text which does focus on elements which as so often ignored/overlooked.

He considers the extraordinary difficulties they faced, and analyses how they performed and what they achieved. Were they successful, or were they beaten down by the burden of their roles? His… Read more...
