Citizen Soldiers
The U.S. Army from the Normandy Beaches to the Bulge to the Surrender of
Germany
June 7, 1944 - May 7, 1945
Stephen E. Ambrose
This is the inspiring story of the ordinary men of the U.S. Army in
northwest Europe from the day after D-Day until the end of the bitterest
days of war. In between come the battles in the hedge rows of Normandy, the
breakout at St.-Lo, the Falaise Gap, Patton tearing through France, the
liberation of Paris, the attempt to leap the Rhine in Operation
Market-Garden, the near miraculous German recovery, the battles around Metz
and the Hurtgen Forest, the Battle of the Bulge - the biggest battle in the
history of the U.S. Army - the capture of the bridge at Remagen, and finally
the overrunning of Germany. Illustrated with B&W photos.
Simon & Schuster, New York, 1997, First Edition, 512 pages, 6 ½" x 9 ½",
light blue boards with darker blue spine and silver lettering, dust jacket,
