Features: This book is another masterpiece by the renowned American military historian Stephen E. Ambrose, following his bestseller Band of Brothers. Stephen E. Ambrose is the author of numerous historical works. His books include the New York Times bestsellers Citizen Soldiers, Band of Brothers, and D-Day, as well as multi-volume biographies of Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard Nixon. A group of young men who flew B-24 bombers over Germany during World War II faced numerous crises and became another extraordinary "band of brothers." In this book, Ambrose describes the heroic, disciplined, and daring nature of this outstanding group, as well as their brotherhood, with vivid details and a touch of emotion. Ambrose has a talent for realistically recreating the tension of battle, taking us into the cramped and perilous cockpit of a B-24, where the crew fights for survival—threading through thick black smoke and deadly anti-aircraft fire to reach the target and destroy Germany's war machine.
