5.0 out of 5 stars A breathtaking story of bravery and unbelievable skill, 2 July 2002

By	M D Thompson (Windsor, Berkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Ambrose's technique is to focus on the words and experiences of the participants, not the offical history. For those who found Band of Brothers too 'American' then this is the perfect antidote as he uses similar techniques to examine one of the most daring exploits of the second world war carried out by British glider pilots and soldiers.

It is popular history at its best, making the reader feel a part of the action whilst still providing more than enough social, political and military context to make it more than just an adventure story. All of the main participants are unconvential in many ways, sharing a passion both to do their duty and, most of all, not to let their comrades down. It is this aspect of military history that Ambrose does so well, understanding what makes soldiers in modern warfare face up to unimaginable danger. I am of that generation that owes it all to our parents generation who sacrificed so much. This book offers real insights into the bravery of one particular group of men that demosntrated the best atteibutes of that generation - they did it because it had to be done and they were determined to do it well and, interestinghly, have a great time doing it, despite the pain and the loss. These were men who were unconvential and didn't really care what anybody else thought about them, except their comrades. They wanted to be good at what they did, they were good at what they did and their achievement was truly astonishing.

A stirring tale.

3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting oral history of a classic military operation., 6 Aug 1999

By A Customer

Ambrose furthers his study of D Day operations with this detailed and well researched volume. He has an obvious regard for those who took part in this high intensity operation and makes a strong representation of the the unit story and the individuals that took part. This is really a story of leadership, daring and success in the face of difficult conditions. Major John Howard and his team performed superbly and this is their story. The book does justice to both the people and their actions. A truly enjoyable and informative read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent., 1 Mar 2006

By	Richard Miles "Stilletto_Rebel" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Pegasus Bridge (Paperback)

This book, explaining the involvement of the Ox and Bucks Light Infantry and the training and execution of their mission to capture Pegasus Bridge is excellent.

There are many first-hand accounts from those who took part, including Major Howard, the officer who planned much of the mission once it had been assigned to him. The landing, capture and retention of the bridge is described in great detail and plays out hour by hour, giving the reader the sense of almost being there!

Another excellent book by Stephen E Ambrose
