Those who wish to study the Normandy Campaign in more detail will find a number of volumes in the U.S. Army in World War II series, produced by the U.S. Army Center of Military History, particularly useful. Gordon A. Harrison, Cross-Channel-Attack (1951), remains a basic source, but a number of other studies bear heavily upon the operation. They include:

Robert W. Coakley and Richard M. Leighton, Global Logistics and Strategy (1968);

Martin Blumenson, Breakout and Pursuit (1961);

Forrest C. Pogue, The Supreme Command (1954);

Roland G. Ruppenthal, Logistical Support of the Armies (1953); and

Graham A. Cosmas and Albert E. Cowdrey, The Medical Department: Medical Service in the European Theater of Operations (1992).

The Historical Division of the War Department produced three volumes on the event. All have been reprinted by the Center of Military History. Classified as the American Forces in Action series, they are:

OMAHA Beachhead (6 June-13 June 1944) (1989);

UTAH Beach to Cherbourg (1990); and

St. Lo (7 July-19 July 1944) (1984).

A number of abbreviated summaries have been written. Among the most useful are:

Charles MacDonald, The Mighty Endeavor: American Armed Forces in the European Theater in World War II (1969); and

Charles MacDonald and Martin Blumenson, "Recovery of France," in Vincent J. Esposito, ed., A Concise History of World War II (1965).

Memoirs by Allied commanders contain considerable information. Among the best are:

Omar N. Bradley, A Soldier's Story (1951);

Omar N. Bradley and Clay Blair, A General's Life (1983);

Dwight D. Eisenhower, Crusade in Europe (1948);

Sir Bernard Law Montgomery, Normandy to the Baltic (1948); and

Sir Frederick Edgeworth Morgan, Overture to Overlord (1950).

Almost as useful are biographies of leading commanders. Among the most prominent are:

Stephen E. Ambrose, The Supreme Commander: The War Years of General Dwight D. Eisenhower (1970), and Eisenhower, Soldier, General of the Army, President-Elect, 1890-1952 (1983);

Nigel Hamilton, Master of the Battlefield: Monty's War Years, 1942-1944 (1983); and

Richard Lamb, Montgomery in Europe, 1943-1945: Success or Failure (1984).

A number of general histories also exist, many centering on the controversies that continue to surround the campaign and its commanders. See, in particular:

John Colby, War From the Ground Up: The 90th Division in World War II (1989);

Carlo D'Este, Decision in Normandy: The Unwritten Story of Montgomery and the Allied Campaign (1983);

Max Hastings, Overlord, D-Day, June 6, 1944 (1984);

John Keegan, Six Armies in Normandy: From D-Day to the Liberation of Paris (1982);

Robin Neillands, The Battle of Normandy 1944 (2002);

Stephen T. Powers, "Battle of Normandy: The Lingering Controversy," Journal of Military History 56 (1992):455-71.
