The Normandy campaign in the summer of 1944 was
perhaps the most important battle of the 20th Century. It decided the fate of
Nazi Germany. This historigraphical narrative critically assesses the important
literature on the campaign and offers the most comprehensive bibliography on the
subject to date. This research guide is easily accessible, with cross-references
between the text and the bibliography and a full index. It has been developed
for use in public, college, university, and institutional libraries and to serve
military historians and history "buffs" interested in D-Day. The narrative
provides a brief historical background, describes ten different types of sources
for conducting research on the Normandy
campaign and naval preparations, Operation Fortitude, D-Day, and the Battle for Normandy, before pointing to trends and future
research needs. The second part of the book lists 515 works on the Normandy
campaign, including references, bibliographies, guides, dissertations, books,
documents, and magazine articles. The emphasis is on English-language works, but
the most significant French and German materials are included also.
