In my opinion this is Ambrose's best book. Again the reader can't help but empathise with the men of the biggest invasion of all time.
The part that stays in my mind is the three blokes that had become great mates during training, on being told that two out of three men would become casualties in the landing one of them looked at his two mates and felt sad that they would not make it. This is a great example of how young men think, It won't happen to me. That's how we felt in the First Gulf War and I'm sure it's how young men have thought in every war ever fought. It proves Ambrose's skill as a story teller, not just an historian, that the reader can feel the emotion of that soldier.
As I said before, in my opinion, this is Ambrose's best book.
