By recreating the war experience with clarity and fidelity, Stephen E. Ambrose thrillingly tells the true story of World War II—from the hedgerows of Normandy to the invasion of Germany—from the perspective of the men and women involved. Reading the book, we are transported to the battlefields as we absorb the words of the brave American soldiers who defeated fascism and liberated an entire continent. As a military historian, Ambrose offers a work about ordinary soldiers, recounting who they were, how they fought, why they fought, what they endured, and how they triumphed. Illustrated with maps and photographs, Citizen Soldiers details \"The Battle for the Liberation of France,\" \"The Fighting on the German Border,\" and, finally, \"The Occupation of Germany with the Victory of the Allied Forces\" on May 7, 1945. \"Deep down, American noncommissioned officers, junior officers, and privates knew good from evil and did not want to live in a world where evil prevailed. Therefore, they fought, and they won, and all of us, present and future, owe them profound gratitude forever.\" (Ambrose's closing remarks in the book.) THE AUTHOR Stephen E. Ambrose is the author of several history books, including the New York Times bestsellers Nothing Like It in the World and Undaunted Courage, as well as biographies of Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard Nixon. He is the founder of the Eisenhower Center and president of the National D-Day Museum in New Orleans.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174790840572,"sku":"9788528608267","price":109.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/c64c82f775f9741dc41e6f425f91f09f_07b7bea4-dc42-4d0b-b820-d1a27c8dac4f.jpg?v=1778325627"},{"product_id":"azul-sem-fim","title":"ENDLESS BLUE","description":"The young men who flew the B-24s over the skies of Germany in World War II, under the most difficult circumstances, were unique young men and are the protagonists of Endless Blue.
