About This Item
Synopsis
Stephen E. Ambrose draws from more than 1,400 interviews with American, British, Canadian, French, and German veterans to create the preeminent chronicle of the most important day in the twentieth century. Ambrose reveals how the original plans for the invasion were abandoned, and how ordinary soldiers and officers acted on their own initiative. D-Day is above all the epic story of men at the most demanding moment of their existence, when the horrors, complexities, and triumphs of life are laid bare. Ambrose portrays the faces of courage and heroism, fear and determination -- what Eisenhower called "the fury of an aroused democracy" -- that shaped the victory of the citizen soldiers whom Hitler had disparaged.

In order to remain competitive with low value books and be able to offer them, we have a tiered shipping system to make low price transactions economically sound. Lower value books will ship in a protective bubble mailer, as 99% of these reach the customer without problems. We go beyond this for higher ticket items and provide box service. If your post office handles books roughly, you can request cardboard/box service for lower value items as well.
