Would have to agree that the Then and Now books are well worth the $. I have the Bulge, Panzers in Normandy & the 2 vol Normandy set and really have enjoyed them. I am really hoping to pick up the Somme & the Marget Garden volumnes this year.

Martin's recomendation of Charles B MacDonald's 'A Time For Trumpets' is right on too and might be a bit cheaper for you to start with - a used reading copy on amazon will cost you as much for shipping as the book itself.
