On To Berlin by Gen. James M. Gavin (aka "Jumpin' Jim), Viking Press © 1978. This is an excellent read of both tactics and strategy written by a man who was involved in both. Also comments on mistakes made and learned. He concentrates of course, on the use of airborne troops, but also on the overall use of our (and Britain's) troops against a formidable enemy.
