I'm currently reading the following:
-Carlo d'este - Decision in Normandy
... Though D'estes' book has a go a montys strategy but this is something common with a lot of american writers.

I'm in a Normandy 1944 phase at the moment, and apart from D'Este's book I'm all also re-reading Chester Wilmot's The Struggle for Europe and Richard Lamb's Montgomery in Europe: Success or Failure?
But on the Normandy campaign itself I must rate Robin Neillands' book The Battle of Normandy (published in 2002) as one of the best ever written on the subject. It takes a much fairer view of Montgomery's conduct of the campaign and in so doing shatters some of the Normandy myths that have been circulating for more than half a century.
