The best book about Exercise Tiger

Okay, I may be a bit biased here, because my grandfather was a part of Exercise Tiger and is actually pictured in the book, but this is the best book about this topic that I've found. I've read the other books talking about Slapton Sands and Exercise Tiger, but as far as I'm concerned, none of them hold a candle to this one. Just for extra info about the topic, National Geographic published an article in the June 2002 issue that talks briefly about Exercise Tiger.
