Interesting book

What a good read, didn't understand till reading it how the American military differed from ours. Still made the same mistakes in Vietnam.

Very Good Book

In many ways this book is a continuation of Ambrose's earlier work, D-Day. Ambrose concentrates on the individual soldier and his experiences. Generals and strategy enter the picture only to the extent that they affect the front-line soldiers. Although the book has a narrative focus, this is primarily an oral history, using the soldier's own words as prime means of telling its story. Liberally filled with soldier's stories and anecdotes, this is a highly readable and enjoyable bookRead full review...
