From America’s preeminent military historian and bestselling author of Band of Brothers, Stephen E. Ambrose, comes the definitive telling of the average Americans who fought in the eleven month campaign, beginning with D-Day, that ultimately liberated Western Europe and ended the Nazi regime.

In The Victors, acclaimed historian Stephen E. Ambrose delivers a sweeping account of the final year of World War II in Europe, drawing from his landmark works D-Day, Citizen Soldiers, Pegasus Bridge, Band of Brothers, and Eisenhower. Combining strategic insight with vivid eyewitness testimony, Ambrose chronicles the Allied campaign from the beaches of Normandy to the collapse of Nazi Germany.

The stories within this volume encompass the war’s defining battles and daring operations: British airborne troops seizing Pegasus Bridge in the opening engagement of D-Day, American paratroopers fighting from Utah Beach through the Battle of the Bulge, and Allied forces advancing toward Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest. Ambrose also illuminates the momentous decisions made by Eisenhower, Bradley, Patton, and other commanders as they directed the invasion and the bloody drive across Europe.

Yet the heart of The Victors belongs to the ranks, the ordinary boys and men, who endured the terror, exhilaration, hunger, cold, and filth of combat. Drawing on thousands of interviews and oral histories, Ambrose captures the intimate world of the individual rifleman alongside the vast scale of the European theater, revealing how civilians were transformed into a formidable fighting force.

Comprehensive and deeply human, The Victors is both a history of Allied triumph and a tribute to the men who made it possible. Through their courage, sacrifice, and perseverance, Ambrose re-creates the extraordinary campaign that liberated Western Europe and brought the Nazi regime to an end.

Good book, but large sections are near-carbon copies of Citizen Soldiers by Ambrose. Very few sections with new content.

A repeat of Citizen Soldiers

Ambrose is a master of this kind of work. The narration is clear and does not get in the way of the great writing. I had hoped for more of an insight into Eisenhower whereas the work is really much more about the whole European Theatre of Operations. There is a fair amount of material which is really a cut & paste from Band Of Brothers and/or D Day by the same author but this material is appropriate and does not suffer from repetition. A good listen for anybody who has even the slightest interest in this period of history.

I loved the information and stories of combat and struggles. One thing that was annoying was sometimes between pauses I could hear another conversation happening in the background.

Great Story
