Description

Stephen Ambrose helped celebrate the creation of the National World War II Museum with the publication of his masterly history D-Day June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of World War II.

Ambrose wove over 1,400 oral history interviews and other primary sources into a riveting story of the day that turned the tide of history. A brilliant account of D-Day told by the veterans through a historian who was wise enough and talented enough to gather their stories before they were lost.

A monument to the fighting generation that liberated Europe and overthrew fascism.

Lightly crunched dust jacket; minimal shelf wear; else very good. Signed bookplate (initialed) pasted in.
