James Holland's Normandy '44 from an amphibious perspective

Is James Holland's Normandy '44: D-Day and the Battle for France worth reading?

Yes, but it is strongly land-centred and gives less attention to the landing craft and wider amphibious system.

James Holland's Normandy '44 is a good book, though it was not among the principal recommendations in this amphibious-themed review. Like many D-Day histories, it concentrates on the fighting ashore. That emphasis can make landing craft and the maritime machinery of the invasion seem like little more than a border crossing. A reader can value the book for its land-campaign coverage while looking elsewhere for the full naval and ship-to-shore story.
