I got this book on Saturday after ordering it from Amazon.com. It is a 200 page paper back book detailing the events that took place on Sword beach on D-Day. I've been searching for a book on Sword as my Grandfarther landed there on D-Day, but I recommend this to all. It gives a nicely detailed account of the build up work for taking Sword and the Germans response to the coming invasion. It also breaks down the individual sectors of the beach.
For £6.95 I was unsure how good it would be, but I'm pleased with the book, and I'm looking at getting the rest in the series.
Details: Sword Beach, British 3rd Infantry Division/27th Armoured Brigade.
