Objective look at the American-British relations
I was very much impressed by Carlo D'Este's view of the Normandy Beach invasion and the following events in WWII. He was very even handed in describing Montgomery and Eisenhower. The same for Patton and the other generals who were involved in the operation. It changed many of my perceptions both about the war and the personalities involved. I have read several books on the same operation each displaying heavy bias for either the British leadership or the American. D'Este handles both sides well, acknowledging the brilliant and the vain-glory in both sides.
