Really good book! An interesting play by play of what happened and the background for the decisions made. Very fast and interesting read, I found myself very invested in the story even though I knew how it ended. Good recommendation for history & military people who like background and the planning of a huge military event. Cool perspective too as the author was there and played a huge role.
