Ambrose's D-Day is the definitive history of World War II's most pivotal battle, a day that changed the course of history. D-Day is the epic story of men at the most demanding moment of their lives, when the horrors, complexities, and triumphs of life are laid bare. Distinguished historian Stephen E. Ambrose portrays the faces of courage and heroism, fear and determination-what Eisenhower called "the fury of an aroused democracy"-that shaped the victory of the citizen soldiers whom Hitler had disparaged. Drawing on more than 1,400 interviews with American, British, Canadian, French, and German veterans, Ambrose reveals how the original plans for the invasion had to be abandoned, and how enlisted men and junior officers acted on their own initiative when they realized that nothing was as they were told it would be. The action begins at midnight, June 5/6, when the first British and American airborne troops jumped into France. It ends at midnight June 6/7. Focusing on those pivotal twenty-four hours, it moves from the level of Supreme Commander to that of a French child, from General Omar Bradley to an American paratrooper, from Field Marshal Montgomery to a German sergeant. Ambrose's D-Day is the finest account of one of our history's most important days. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.

Reseñas
El Jun 8 2006, Bibliophile dijo:
Stephen Ambrose has compiled more than 1400 interviews with American, British, Canadian, French and German veterans to create a chronicle of D-Day. Ambrose portrays the faces of courage and heroism, fear and determination - what Eisenhower called "The fury of an aroused Democracy". Ambrose, the Director of the National D- Day Museum has done a comprehensive catalog of the events of that day. What makes it so compelling is that he speaks in the voices of the men who were there. This is not a celebration, a book of ego or pretension this is history related by the men who lived it.
