Book Synopsis Pegasus Bridge by : Stephen E. Ambrose

Book excerpt: The acclaimed WWII historian’s “illuminating account of . . . an operation as strategically important as any fought on D-Day” (The New York Times Book Review). In the early morning hours of June 6, 1944, a small detachment of British airborne troops stormed the German defense forces and paved the way for the Allied invasion of Europe. Pegasus Bridge was the first engagement of D-Day, the turning point of World War II. It was a mission so crucial that, had it been unsuccessful, the entire Normandy invasion might have failed. In Pegasus Bridge, Stephen Ambrose draws on original interviews with British, German, and French survivors to present a thrilling, ground-level view of the battle. Ambrose traces each step of the preparations over many months to the minute-by-minute excitement of the hand-to-hand confrontations on the bridge. This is a story of heroism and cowardice, kindness and brutality—the stuff of all great adventures.

Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1859, Grenville Mellen Dodge, a railroad engineer, was asked by Lincoln, a politician from Illinois, what the best route for a Pacific railroad would be. Dodge replied that it would be from Council Bluffs out the Platte Valley. #2 The transcontinental railroad was a dream of America, and it was made possible by the American engineers who were able to think outside the box and come up with new ways to deal with old problems. #3 The transcontinental railroad was the greatest building project of the nineteenth century. It was built by Dodge and Lincoln, and it was designed to run almost straight out the forty-second parallel from Omaha, alongside the Platte Valley until it reached the Rocky Mountains and then over the mountains to meet the railroad coming east from California. #4 Lincoln was one of the greatest railroad lawyers in the West. He was interested in the idea of a railroad that would connect the East Coast with the territories in the West.

Book Synopsis Crazy Horse and Custer by : Stephen E. Ambrose
Download or read book Crazy Horse and Custer written by Stephen E. Ambrose. This book was released on 2014-07-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller from the author of Band of Brothers: The biography of two fighters forever linked by history and the battle at Little Bighorn. On the sparkling morning of June 25, 1876, 611 men of the United States 7th Cavalry rode toward the banks of Little Bighorn in the Montana Territory, where three thousand Indians stood waiting for battle. The lives of two great warriors would soon be forever linked throughout history: Crazy Horse, leader of the Oglala Sioux, and General George Armstrong Custer. Both were men of aggression and supreme courage. Both became leaders in their societies at very early ages. Both were stripped of power, in disgrace, and worked to earn back the respect of their people. And to both of them, the unspoiled grandeur of the Great Plains of North America was an irresistible challenge. Their parallel lives would pave the way, in a manner unknown to either, for an inevitable clash between two nations fighting for possession of the open prairie.
