Stephen E. Ambrose’s D-Day is the definitive history of World War II’s most pivotal battle, a day that changed the course of history.
Drawing on more than 1,400 interviews with American, British, Canadian, , and 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 child, from General Omar Bradley to an American paratrooper, from Field Marshal Montgomery to a sergeant. Ambrose’s D-Day is the finest account of one of our history’s most important days.
