D-Day: June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of World War II by Stephen E. Ambrose
Did not finish book.
As much as I am interested in history I have an impossible time getting through history books.....
I am looking for an overall sweeping view of what happened and why it happened, but it seems like many books get mired in the details of divisions, troop numbers and vehicle acronyms. It's all just gobbledygook after a while and I'm not left with a sense of what actually happened.
I'm not faulting the author as those things are important to most history buffs - just not for me. Maybe I just need to watch more documentaries on the history topics I'm interested in?
