I'd look at it like more a close escape than a lost opportunity. Sorry to hear about it tho.
Read both, liked both. Been too long to remember any differences in opinion or emphasis, however. Never thought to read back-to-back books on the same topic. I have to think of a topic now.
Just been that kind of year. Maybe next year will be different.
So far, both authors are pretty much in line with each other. Hasting's is more outspoken about the Whermacht's tactical superiority which would not sit well with some but D'Este pretty much indicates the same thing. I'm learning alot about Montgomery.
