The War in Europe, from D-Day to Berlin, as described by America's pre-eminent military historian and drawn from his published works is re-written as a chronological dramatic narrative in 'The Victors.'
Ambrose describes the leadership of FDR and, especially, Dwight Eisenhower, and, as always, his much admired very young men, the citizen soldiers, most in their late teens and early twenties, who fought these horrific battles, sacrificed and prevailed.
With 48 pages of photographs, the contents of this book are melded into a chronological, continuing narrative beginning with the decision to cross the English Channel on D-Day and the men who pulled it off, and continues the bitter battles on the drive to Germany.
The book focuses on Ambrose's beloved citizen soldiers, the boy-men who endured the most, rose the highest to the occasion, and proved unbeatable. It is not only Ambrose's scholarship and authority, not only his readability, but his powerful love and admiration for these men that make his books so moving and popular.
