Citizen Soldiers

Citizen Soldiers opens on the Normandy beaches at 0001 hours, June 7, 1944, and ends with the allied victory at 0245 hours, May 7, 1945. Historian Stephen E. Ambrose chronicles the United States Army in northwest Europe during World War II, focusing on the soldiers’ daily life and their battle experiences. Ambrose gained insight from hundreds of interviews to build a biography of the US Army in its European Theater of Operations and describes military actions in clear detail. Citizen Soldiers is an impressive work about the tragedy, nobility, and brutality of war.
