The author is an educationalist, rather than a former soldier and has produced a guide which is particularly suitable for teachers taking school parties to the battlefields of Normandy, but equally suitable for individuals making the journey – Highly Recommended This book follows the publisher's proven format, of well-research text, a readable writing style and many illustrations in support, all at a very aggressive price and just about pocketable. In this 75th Anniversary year of the D-Day Landings, this is a timely book, providing all of the information needed to plan a visit and take along on the journey. Many battlefield guides are written by former soldiers, starting with the first guide produced in the 1920s for the many visitors to the Western Front trenches. The Guild of Battlefield Guides provide guided tours and again use former soldiers as guides, many of whom produce guide books. The author of this new guide has extensive experience in leading numerous trips to Europe, Russia and North America and his guide will be specially valuable for anyone planning to lead a school trip to Normandy.
