The battlefield tours are organised quite logically, with one each for Pegasus Bridge and Horsa Bridge and a third looking at the German counter-attacked and Allied reinforcements. The tours are written as a mix of narrative account of the fighting, well supported by eye witness accounts, mixed with the tour details - instruction and explanations of what can still be seen on the ground. This is an interesting approach and gives the book more value to the general reader that with some other tour guides. - History of War
