In this book the author draws materials from many of his other WWII books and presents an overview of the European theater during WWII from the time Eisenhower took command until the German surrender. Even though I had read all those books, except "D-Day", I still enjoyed his re-telling. He shares the war from the viewpoint of the men who served on the front lines. I especially recommend this book as a first read for anyone who thinks they might want to read an Ambrose WWII history. Once you finish it you will probably want to follow up with his "Peagsus Bridge", "Band of Brothers", "Citizen Soldiers", ...

If you have already read these books, especially if it has been awhile, I think you would enjoy his updates to some of the things you read in his earlier works and see how well he weaves his overviews of the re-told stories together his coverage of events he did not touch on earlier.
