Stephen E. Ambrose draws from hundreds of interviews with US Army veterans and the brave Allied soldiers who fought alongside them to create this exceptional account of the day that shaped the twentieth century. D-Day is above all the epic story of men at the most demanding moment of their existence, when the horrors, complexities and triumphs of life are laid bare and courage and heroism come to the fore.

Ike - smoked 4 packs of cigarettes a day. 80 cigs, in 18 hours. About 13 per hour. "Planning is everything until the battle is joined. Then, it's not."
They worked on this plan for 2 years. They did not have computers. And, there is an excellent explanation why the allied strategy worked and why the German plan(s) did not.
Although this is not a "Great Courses "book, it could be. And, a short PDF book with maps and a timeline would would make this exceptional, to the point of not needing any other source. It is a bit tough, trying to sort out the locations from memory.
When I finish, in a week, I'll add to this review. I will probably continue recommending this book in the strongest possible terms.
