Decision In Normandy: The Unwritten Story of Montgomery And The Allied Campaign (1983) By Carlo D'Este
Field Marshal Montgomery's battle plan for Normandy, following the D-Day landings on 6 June 1944, resulted in one of the most controversial campaigns of the Second World War. Carlo D'Este's acclaimed book gives the fullest possible account of the conception and execution of Montgomery's plan, with all its problems and complexities.
It brings to light information from diaries, papers and letters that were not available in Montgomery's lifetime and draws on interviews with senior officers who were involved in the campaign and have refrained from speaking out until now. Covers Overlord's planning, the D-Day (invasion of France and the Orne Bridgehead), Caen, Villers-Bocage, the Battle for the Odon, the planning and execution of the Breakthrough and Operation Goodwood, and the Falaise controversy and aftermath.
