Stephen E. Ambrose
When Hitler declared war on the United States, he bet that the young men brought up in the Hitler Youth would outfight the youngsters brought up in the Boy Scouts. Now, in this magnificent retelling of the war's most climactic battle, acclaimed Eisenhower biographer and World War II historian Stephen E. Ambrose tells how wrong Hitler was. Drawing on hundreds of oral histories as well as never-before-available information from around the world, Ambrose tells the true story of how the Allies broke through Hitler's Atlantic Wall, revealing that the intricate plan for the invasion had to be abandoned before the first shot was fired. Focusing on the 24 hours of June 6, 1944 - D-Day brings to life the stories of the men and women who made history - from top Allied and Axis strategic commanders to the citizen soldiers whose heroic initiative saved the day.

Having Ambrose narrate himself is a treat. The man's passion for his subject is utterly obvious and contributes mightily to the success of the audio version. I am aware of the controversy surrounding Ambrose in his later years (accusations of plagiarism), but whether or not the accusations are true, they cannot detract from his power as a presenter of history.
His voice is not as strong as I recall it from History Channel presentations a decade or so back, but it is just as passionate, forceful, and humorous. He brings the epic events of D-Day down to such a human level, and makes it all very REAL to those of us comfortably ensconced here in the 21st century.
I couldn't recommend this more highly.
Utterly Engrossing

What did you love best about D-Day?
Ambrose's narratives always are attention holding. He starts with spectacular and challenging aspects of the first parachutes into Normandy and gives specifics that enable one to understand the inability of some participants to exercise judgments that would have saved lives and equipment. An example: The landing ship operator that refused to take his ship into shallow water and subsequently emptied trucks into water to deep for them to operate. On the other hand, he offers stories of indivduals who gathered troops to move up draws from the beachhead to the bluffs above the beach--behind the German fixed-placed fortifications. His summary at the end addresses the strengths of the Allied forces (as in leaving tactical decisions to troops on the battlefiedld) and the weaknesses of the German troops: Hitler's insistence in making tactical decisions; the inability of a chain of command to make decisions in battle, and the weakness of depending upon 'impressed troops' from the conquered countries on the Eastern front-most of whom were untrained and many of whom were quick to surrender when confronted by Allied troops.This is an abridged version of the original--a benefit in that it takes about six hours of listening. This abridgment leads to a focus on one of the beaches: Omaha.
What other book might you compare D-Day to and why?
I have not read/listened to other books on the D-Day landings.What about Stephen E. Ambrose’s performance did you like?
As one who frequently gave television interviews, Ambrose's style was engaging. His narration of this book is no less so.If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The infantryman's judgment takes the day.Any additional comments?
While I appreciated the shorter listening time of the abridged edition, I do wonder what the full edition would have added to my knowledge as I prep for a trip to Normandy's beaches.The Story of a D-Day Beach

A story of the great heroes of our time.

This is the story of ordinary men who found themselves in an extraordinary situation. The author focuses both on men who did not survive, as well as men who did and some who rose to the challenge and displayed the great American character that has defined our country.
I learned a great deal I did not know about the landing. The story was told in a very un-biased, non-politicized way. The reading is superb.
What an Incredible Story
