Book Description
================
Stephen E. Ambrose combines history and journalism to describe how American
GIs battled their way to the Rhineland. He focuses on the combat experiences
of ordinary soldiers, as opposed to the generals who led them, and offers
a series of compelling vignettes that read like an enterprising reporter's
dispatches from the front lines. The book presents just enough contextual
material to help readers understand the big picture, and includes memorable
accounts of the Battle of the Bulge and other events as seen through
the weary eyes of the men who fought in the foxholes. Highly recommended
for fans of Ambrose, as well as all readers interested in understanding
the life of a 1940s army grunt. A sort of sequel to Ambrose's bestselling
1994 book D-Day, Citizen Soldiers is more than capable of standing on
its own. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
From Library Journal
Military historian and author Ambrose offers a sequel to his best seller,
D-Day, June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of World War II (LJ 5/1/94).
A skillful blending of eyewitness accounts (gathered mostly from the
oral history collection at the Univ. of New Orleans's Eisenhower Center
and from personal interviews) gives the reader an intimate feel of what
war was like for infantrymen in the European theater of operations?from
the beaches of France to victory at the Elbe River. Additional chapters
on the air war, medics, and prisoners of war offer firsthand accounts
on topics rarely described in traditional histories. The book complements
Paul Fussell's Doing Battle: The Making of a Skeptic (LJ 8/96) and Michael
Daubler's Closing with the Enemy: How G.I.'s Fought the War in Europe,
1944-45 (Univ. of Kansas, 1994). This well-written oral history would
also make an excellent general text. Highly recommended for all library
collections.?Richard S. Nowicki, Emerson Vocational H.S., Buffalo, N.Y.-
