Stephen E. Ambrose
“One of America’s leading historians and authors, Stephen E. Ambrose has dedicated much of his professional career to illuminating World War II. An acknowledged authority on American military history, Ambrose has written such acclaimed books…Band of Brothers…his best-selling books, D-Day June 6, 1944 and Citizen Soldiers, were a major influence on Steven Spielberg’s film Saving Private Ryan, and Ambrose served as historical consultant for the film.
…Ambrose drew on over 1,400 interviews with American, British, and German veterans to reveal the war in an entirely fresh, poignant, and emotionally powerful way…”
"Citizen Soldiers" chronicles the harrowing journey of the U.S. Army from the aftermath of D-Day to the surrender of Germany, focusing on the experiences of the ordinary American soldiers who fought their way across Europe. Stephen E. Ambrose vividly portrays the brutal realities of combat, from the hedgerow battles of Normandy to the desperate fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and the final push into Germany. Through firsthand accounts and detailed historical research, Ambrose highlights the resilience, courage, and sacrifice of these "citizen soldiers," who left civilian lives behind to confront the horrors of war. The book serves as a powerful tribute to their bravery and a compelling narrative of the American Army's pivotal role in the liberation of Europe.
