Reviews
On Jun 8 2006, Bibliophile said:
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.
