From Stephen E. Ambrose, bestselling author of Band of Brothers and D-Day, the inspiring story of the ordinary men of the U.S. army in northwest Europe from the day after D-Day until the end of the bitterest days of World War II.

In this riveting account, historian Stephen E. Ambrose continues where he left off in his #1 bestseller D-Day. Citizen Soldiers opens at 0001 hours, June 7, 1944, on the Normandy beaches, and ends at 0245 hours, May 7, 1945, with the allied victory. It is biography of the US Army in the European Theater of Operations, and Ambrose again follows the individual characters of this noble, brutal, and tragic war. From the high command down to the ordinary soldier, Ambrose draws 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. 20th Century Americas Military Modern United States War US Army Solider Imperialism Submarine Air Force Interwar Period

Fantastic and very profound account of the US contribution to the European Theatre Of Operations in WW2. If you enjoyed Band Of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan then this if you you. Decent narration, even if his generic German accent was a little stereotypical. One for all WW2 history fans.

Incredible and Epic

A great book detailing the ongoing battle through the ETO mostly through American eyes. Nonetheless, the personal accounts, interspersed with factual detail is good, and easy to listen to. However, the narrator has an extremely limited knowledge of foreign placenames. His incorrect pronunciation actually angered me!!

Great book. Awful narrator.

I want to read it again. Supper good! Growing up in the '50's, in our neighborhood, there were military of all branches of both sides. Including several of the Danish underground. I heard about bombing London, following artillery barrages..This brings my memories of the men I spoke with AND respected from both sides. Mostly Americans and British and Germans. Army, Airforce and Navy.

The personal stories adds to the history in a way nothing else can.

Loved it, a hard read sometimes because the stories are harrowing but also hopeful, specially some of the reflections.

Brilliant story needs to be heard
