"Citizen Soldiers - The US Army from the
Normandy Beaches to the Bulge to the Surrender of Germany" by Stephen E. Ambrose
- 1st EDITION 1st PRINT Softcover - Published in 1997 by Touchstone - 528 pages
(over 48 pages of great black & white photos and maps) - Very good
condition. 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. There is a little edge
wear (see the scan) and some browning inside the covers, but this book is still
in very good condition. No collection of books on World War II is complete
without this one. Check out the scan for the great photo on the cover and so
you can judge the condition for yourself (unlike many other booksellers, who
post generic scans, the book in my scan is the one you will get). You can try
to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with
hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be
lucky if the book is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get
it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and
of receiving an item true to the condition indicated. You won't be
disappointed. All previous buyers of my World War II related books have been
completely satisfied. I have others available; please check my listings.
The book will be sent via Media mail shipping in the USA. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for
multiple items. If you purchase more
