 Highly recommended Oct 17, 2007
I bought the Atlas so I could visually follow along with a Book on CD I was listening to regarding the landings (I forget which title..prolly Keegan's book) and it was the perfect match. I am now looking for a similar atlas to use as I listen to Atkinson's latest Army at Dawn book.
I highly recommend this book if you are interested in some of the finer details surrounding the landings and want to visualize the battlefield from a strategic point of view.

The perfect guide for touring the Normandy battlefields Jul 11, 2006
I used this book as my bible during a multi-day tour of the Normandy battlefields. The level of detail and first rate analysis really set this book apart. I carried this book the entire time I was in Northern France and referred to it constantly.
The maps as some of the most beautiful historical maps I have ever seen. They are clear, well designed, and contain a wealth of information. The level of detail is down to small roads and individual building in many maps. So many military history books skimp on maps. The full-color works of art in this book are almost worthy of framing. The author provides great commentary on the strategy and tactics of the invasion. Crisp line drawings of important weaponry are used throughout the book. I wish every major historical battlefield had such a great guide.

As the Title Projects May 10, 2006
Messenger's D-Day Atlas has many maps that are very easily read and the text within the book itself is very well written. If you are looking for a good overview of the invasion and it's aftermath, complete with anecdotes and easy to follow maps, then this is a book that you should be happy with.
