D-Day: June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of World War II by Stephen E. Ambrose
4.0
Ambrose somehow brings into scale the operations that happened on D-Day with such precision and empathy, tapping many interviews, diary’s, and accounts of the event you can’t help but feel in awe. Yes the numbers, names, regiments, locations get jumbled in your head and I could have used more maps throughout the book but in illustrating the sheer scale and hardship the men went through, I haven’t read anything better.
I will say though, it is much more an American experience of D-Day, not an American, British, and Canadian experience. And being half Canadian I was looking forward to more perspectives. But, nonetheless, this book is so able to put most everything into scale and context that it is really amazing. Great stuff. 4.5/5
