D-Day, Normandy Landing Beaches: Battlefield Guide (Major and Mrs Holt's Battlefield Guides)

This book is a summary of Major and Mrs Holt's study of the Normandy Landing Beaches and Battlefields that has taken over 30 years of work in both conducting tours and writing five earlier editions of the work.
This 'Definitive' work is so called because not only does it provide clear backgrounds and tours for each of the Landing Beaches and Airborne Zones but it locates over 500 memorials, cemeteries, bunkers etc and each one has a photograph and a GPS location.
Major and Mrs Holt - Tonie and Valmai Holt - are credited with creating the modern battlefield tour in the 1970s when they were the only people conducting such tours. This book not only draws on the many personal accounts that they heard during their years of touring but also from the military training of Tonie (the 'Major') and Valmai the arts graduate. Because they write all their books together and do all of their own research the book is not only a Guide but also a Military History and a genuine story of human endeavour.
