The first field guide to the iconic and tragic Omaha Beach. The author, Brigadier General Theodore G. Shuey served under the command of Omaha Beach veterans, including General
Cota.
Sector by sector (with complete maps), he records the operations,
relying upon the testimonies of veterans, as well as studying the
battles from a military perspective, in relation to the role played by
the German posts.The book is highly illustrated, with photos from 1944 alongside modern colour photographs of the locations as they are today. This is also supplemented with photos of material and equipment used at the time, some of which has been found in Normandy in recent years. If you are considering visiting Omaha Beach, this book would be a good guide.
