Main description:
Newly illustrated with more than 120 photographs, this edition brings to vivid life Ambrose’s story of D-Day, universally recognized as the definitive account of the day that began the allied march to victory.
Along with Citizen Soldiers and Band of Brothers, D-Day is historian Stephen Ambrose’s epic story of the soldiers and junior officers who fought and defeated Hitler’s armies. Ambrose is the soldiers’ historian. His accounts of their daily lives portray them as they were in real life—both ordinary and extraordinary. Tom Brokaw hailed them as the greatest generation. Ambrose wrote about them as if they were his own sons. These newly assembled photographs bring their story to life as never before.
