"A careless speech writer includes the word 'paradigm' in President Reagan's speech on superconductivity. Yes, he pronounces it 'paradijum.'"

| |  | | | In Brief
The stories of the ordinary men who served in World War II in Europe are told by the bestselling author of Undaunted Courage, based on hundred of interviews with people from both sides of the war.
| | | | From The Publisher
In this riveting account, historian Stephen Ambrose continues where he left off in his #1 bestseller D-Day. Ambrose again follows the individual characters of this noble, brutal, and tragic war, from the high command down to the ordinary soldier, drawing on hundreds of interviews to re-create the war experience with startling clarity and immediacy. From the hedgerows of Normandy to the overrunning of Germany, Ambrose tells the real story of World War II from the perspective of the men and women who fought it.

Another outing from the prolific popular historian of American presidents and prowess. This sequel to D-Day starts at 0001 hours, June 7, 1944, on the Normandy beaches, and ends at 0245 hours, May 7, 1945. In between come the battles in the hedgerows of Normandy, the breakout at Saint-Lo, the Falaise gap, Patton's race across France, the liberation of Paris, the attempt to leap the Rhine in Operation Market-Garden, the unexpected German recovery, the battles around Metz and in the Heurtgen Forrest, the Battle of the Bulge, the capture of the bridge at Remagen, and the failure to beat the Red Army to Berlin.

Just about the most gripping account of the Second World War that I have ever read. -- Author of Catch 22 —Joseph Heller
[Ambrose] is that rare breed: a historian with true passion for his subject. —Ken Burns
What a wonderful book, an emotionally powerful arugment for our wonderful, flawed system and its home grown heroics. Ambrose's pen is a machine gun: detached, hot, and devestating. —Ken Burns
