The Victors (Abridged): Eisenhower and His Boys: The Men of World War II Audiobook

" starts as a short version of the Dday book, but then adds more details after June 6th 1944. "

" Made feel good to be an American. What they did in WWII was an amazing feat in the history of the world. We fought a major war, not to conquer, or defend our country, but to free conquered countries. "

" Great historical documentary...though a bit repetitious. "

" Enjoying it. "

" Another Ambrose classic! He provided much insight into the planning and execution of this incredible event. A 'must read' for any history buff. "

" I, like many readers, found some sections very familiar. In fact, they were the sections from Ambrose's previous books, of which I had read one. So I can't recommend this book as the the sections from the other books don't really go together all that well. It is like that episode on TV that is a conglomerate of other episodes from the same series. No one likes those semi-reruns, and your better of reading the other Ambrose books than this Frankenstein book. "

" It was a pretty good read and provided a view of the surprisingly grind-it-out strategy employed after D-Day. I didn't expect such a critical and honest look at the command structure. "

" It's Ambrose. You love history, you generally can sit down and share some time with Ambrose. This one covers the soldier's stories from WW II. . .If you've read Citizen Soldiers and D-Day, this book should be a slam-dunk "

" For all the critcism that Ambrose receives, this has to be one of the best single volume histories about WWII. He loves to talk about the non-coms and how pivotal they were in some of the biggest battles. "

" Good book, but it feels like Ambrose keeps printing the same material with a different name. "

" Stephen Ambrose recycles heavily to crank out another book! "

" Another great book by Stephen Ambrose, who brings us the hero's of our great country, and shows us the men that made our country so great, and the amazing things they went through, and sacraficed for all of us to make the USA what it is today! "

" Not Ambrose's most well-written book, but still interesting to read. "

" It's a great sample serving of Mr. Ambrose's work. For those people who haven't read any of his books, this is a good way to find out which (if any of them) you'd like to read. They did a fine job of taking parts from the different books and making a concise read. "

" Completely changed the way I thought about World War II, Ike, and war in general. "

" A book that can be at times enjoyable to read, but deeply, deeply flawed as history. "

" Having not read the other books of Stephen Ambrose on the Second World War, I find this volume that features sections from his various books on the subject good, as it still presents the continuity of the big story. "

" Account of American involvement in European theater in WWII. "

" True showing of strong leadership and willingness of soldiers. "

" One of several books that Ambrose wrote about World War II Europe. Not the best of all of them, but readable nonetheless. "

" It's mostly a rehash of Ambrose's other WWI books, so I found it to be repetitive. "

" Not as strong as his other books. Maybe I've just read enough of his work to feel like he didn't break any ground with this one. "

" One of his best books "

" Sometimes this one is way too obviously a compilation. "

" Well written, but more a tribute than history book. So one sided it reminded me classic Soviet era WWII historiography. Also includes a lot of copy/pasted material from older Ambrose's writings. "

" A very good look into WWII American push into Europe and continues to add to my perspective of this history. "

" Another quick overview by Ambrose. I prefer "The Longest Day." "

" It's Ambrose. You love history, you generally can sit down and share some time with Ambrose. This one covers the soldier's stories from WW II. . .If you've read Citizen Soldiers and D-Day, this book should be a slam-dunk "

" Great book. Borrowed heavily from Citizen Soldiers "
