Been reading Jeff Shaara's new book The Steel Wave. This is the second one in his WWII trilogy. It is about D-Day-- June 6, 1944-- and the events and thoughts of military leaders just before and after this fateful day.

Worth a look for people who like historical novels with a military theme.

He does focus on the leaders a lot. Leaders like Dwight Eisenhower, Erwn Rommel, Omar Bradley, and Bernard Montgomery. Adolf Hitler is painted as a military tactician and strategist who is something of an idiot or a raving lunatic.
