I really enjoyed this book. It tells the story of the advance of U.S. soldiers through western Europe after D-day and takes you up to Germany's surrender. It doesn't read so much as a history book as it does more of a collection of memoirs from veterans on both sides of the war. I learned a great deal from reading this including what the soldiers were thinking and feeling during one of the most horrific campaigns of WW II and the intense competition between the Generals behind the scenes. Great read!

Another extremely accurate and well researched account by Stephen Ambrose. Compiled and told largely through the eyes of the GIs who were actually on the ground and did the fighting.
