CITIZEN SOLDIERS is an unforgettable testament to the World War II generation' THE NEW YORK TIMES

CITIZEN SOLDIERS is just about the most gripping account of the Second World War that I have ever read'

JOSEPH HELLER

Stephen E. Ambrose once again follows the individual characters of this brutal war to its conclusion. From the high command down to the ordinary soldier, he draws on hundreds of interviews to re-create the war experience with startling clarity and immediacy. CITIZEN SOLDIERS tells the real story of World War II from the hedgerows of Normandy to the overrunning of Germany - from the perspective of the American men and women who fought it.
