Having watched your video it is clear from your tone and manner that you are blinded by a dislike of Mr Ambrose. However having said that I think your true dislike lays with the fact that American gun power won WWII. This upsets the British so much but it is undisputed anywhere else. US gun power, industry, including Higgins landing cafts, plus Russian man power won WWII.
@MrGavinPatton ....And I thought it was Easy Company that won the war. I wonder where all that American gun power and Russian manpower was when the Germans suffered their first defeat of WW2 in the Battle of Britain? Wasn't that when the US was still selling weapons to the Nazis and the Russians were allied with them? Undisputed? Just go and ask a Canadian, Pole, Aussie, Indian, New Zealander etc. if they agree with you. Ambrose was a hack who wrote populist pap for the ignorant.
Ambrose did meet Eisenhower three times, but certainly not the 100 hours Ambrose claims. He lied about other things as explained at this US universirt site: wwwdothnndotus/articles/126636dothtml
Nice review Chap, well appreciated. Preliminarily, I love what S.E.Ambrose offered in respects to the brotherhood developed in war, as heavily drawn upon in films like Saving Private Ryan & Band of Brothers. I first learned of him by seeing his picture amongst other fellow Lodge Brothers on the wall of the Chi Psi Fraternity (Alpha Iota). In respect to you, thanks for your perspective - as i'm sure many have been lost. & For the record, my G.Father was Bomb Disposal stationed in Belgium.o0o.

yeah for some reason his D-day book is messed up. I think this is because he was in the us military in WW2 and his other books are about USA and thats it.
This I feel should not be about the debate of who won the war or who was most effective etc etc, I'm just trying to get across that idea that if more people read this book, more and more people will start believing it. I know that this is a controversial statement, but for the sake of genuine FACTUAL history, i'm glad ambrose is dead.
Yeah, what Stephen E. Ambrose is a complete BSer. I have read 3 of his books. D-Day, Citizen Soldiers, and Band of Brothers. While I don't care for the book you reviewed, I do think he fixed some of his problems when he wrote Citizen Soldiers and Band of Brothers. I am also a big military history buff. Thanks for the review.
american forces won it, if Britain had not held on in the Battle of Britain we would not have had the base of operations to "win the war". It was a group effort to win the war.
and while I know my country did contribute greatly to Allied victory, so did the Soviets, British, Canadians, Poles, Free French, etc. I actually think that the most important theater of the war was the eastern front, the war with the Soviet Union. That is the place where most of the Wehrmacht fought during the war and I think it was the deciding front, but the other allied countries did contribute greatly too. lol kinda ironic that us Americans talk so much about how we won the war how the
Granted it was on Wikipedia, but I read there that Ambrose actually plagarized several books, at least 6 in some of his works. He also lied about Eisenhower too, as you stated. lol Ambrose says that he spent Hundreds of hours with Eisenhower when it was only five at the most. He also made up stuff in his books too. It says more on the Wikipedia page about it. As far as Overlord goes, it was a COALITION of troops from the U.S., Britain, Free French, Poles, as you said. I am an American
there is loads of criticism against him. that alone calls into question how credible this "historian" is...

No, why would you think that. My grand Fathers two brothers died in WWII. For the British.
