Download Citizen Soldiers: From the Normandy Beaches to the Surrender of Germany AudioBook Free
Citizen Soldiers opens on June 7, 1944, on the Normandy beaches, and ends on, may 7, 1945. From the high command (including Eisenhower, Bradley, and Patton) on down to the enlisted men, Stephen E. Ambrose draws on a huge selection of interviews and oral histories from men on both sides who have there been. He recreates the experience of the individuals who fought the battles, the women who served, and the Germans who fought against us.
Ambrose reveals the training procedure for a great army -- how to cross rivers, how to fight in snow or hedgerows, how to fight in cities, how to coordinate air and ground campaigns, how to fight in winter and on the defensive, how citizens become soldiers in the best army on earth -- all from the point of view of the men.
A masterful biography of the U.S. Army in the European Theater Of Operations, Citizen Soldiers offers a compelling account of the extraordinary stories of ordinary men in their fight for democracy.
