1: Stand Where They Fought
This book is a must for the military history buff who visits battlefields. The aouthor's details are amazing, Great to read and organize before going over and an easily action recognizable read on the sites. Any road map of the area is applicable as the author quides the tourist to the site via route numbers. We'll use it again at the 65th anniversary in 2009/ Very highly recommended

2: More History Than Guide
This book is not really a "guide" for those seeking to travel about the American sectors of Normandy. There are no road maps or specific directions to these sites. For "maps", the book has various aerial photos with some of the roads and sites marked on an overlay. The book is more of short military history of the campaign itself. For that purpose it is not too bad. For those seeking a book with directions to specific Normandy sites I dont recommend it. Instead, I would recommend Major & Mrs. Holt's Battleifeld Guide. It comes with very specific directions, pictures of the sites, an excellent map as well as a good summary of the campagin.

3: The Best Book to tour Normandy Battlefields
This book is undoubtedly the BEST book if you want to tour around Normandy without a tour guide. This book will give you so much more than tour guides will ever know.

4: A Great Self Guide to the Normandy Invasion
I bought this for a first time trip to Normandy and found it very informative, interesting, and helpful in planning my trip (where I wanted to be, for how long, what distances were). It's a great read just prior to going over so that the beaches and towns and bridges are meaningful to you when you're standing there. I've read a ton of WWII books, and I liked this one a lot.
