For the British Army in NW Europe, "Monty's Men" by John Buckley is my go to. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Montys-Men-British-Liberation-Europe/dp/0300205341
There are several which cover the entire British Army in the ETO during the war, but the issue I have with that is every British Division acted quite differently from one another and had different experiences. As Buckley notes in the above book, Monty and other British commanders wanted to primarily deploy the veterans of the North African Campaign to destroy the German formations in Normandy. This backfired with units like the 7th Armoured Division and the 51st (Highland) Division as they were so used to the open warfare in North Africa and Sicily, they took some time to adjust to the Bocage.
