I’m reading Stephen Ambrose’s classic book on D-Day this week in honor of the occasion. It’s a shame far too many youth are totally ignorant of this significant event.

But there are a lot of young men and women who were legitimately homeschooled or private schooled. Don’t give up hope for America...and not even the public education system, given the right Administration in the near future. R2z

I'm currently reading William Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, but I'm not at D-Day yet. Hitler just got his dumb ass bogged down in Russia and he's begging Japan to pull his chestnuts out of the fire, but Japan's got dumb plans of their own!

What's the name of Ambrose's D-Day book and how is it?

May I suggest Cornelius Ryan's excellent "The Longest Day''. Ambrose drew quite a bit on this tome.
