Richard Eder los Angeles times a Day june 6,1944 the climactic Bat tie of world War ii by Stephen e. Ambrose Simon amp schuster. Why another look at a Battle already treated in detail in Many other books what is different is that Ambrose a professor of history at the University of new Orleans who has written Multi volume biographies of Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon has based this work on 1,200 Oral 3nd written histories collected from the men of a Day Over the last 11 years by the Eisenhower Center at his school. These testaments he says comprise a the most extensive first person 1-was-there collection of memoirs of a single Battle in consider one statistic by the end of 1943, the United states was producing 8,000 air planes a month. Indeed the staggering logistics involved in a Day Bear repeating. A in one night and Day a Ambrose writes �?o175,000 fighting men and their equipment including 50,000 vehicles of All types. Were transported across sixty to a Hundred Miles of open water and landed on bestsellers hostile Shore against intense opposition.

Persico Viking. Some of the most fascinating passages in Persico s Book Center on the responses of the nazi ringleaders to the overwhelming evidence of concentration Camps and mass shootings introduced at the trials. One of the most odious cases was that of the former nazi governor general of Poland Hans Frank. In order to overcompensate for his partly jewish ancestry Frank became one of the most fervent anti semites among the nazis. So determined was Frank to prove his loyalty to nazism that he had All of his remarks condemning the jews arid boasting of exploiting 1.3 million poles for forced labor recorded for posterity. Franks voluminous records would form one of the key sources for the Niernberg prosecutors. At the trials Frank veered Between acknowledging and repudiating guilt for his crimes. Hermann Goering by contrast mustered up his. Old bravado. Goering whose Oul sized personality made him a favorite with the american gis managed to bully most of his fellow defendants into re fusing to plead guilty. Indeed Persico shows that under Cross examination the cunning Goering even got the upper hand Over his famous american prosecutor Robert Jackson. Goering managed to cheat the Hangman As Well. Persico who seeks to Clear up the mystery surrounding go cringe a suicide argues that upon entering prison Goering secreted a cyanide capsule in his Luggage and persuaded a member of the prison staff to take pieces of 1 Luggage from the baggage room for him. Perhaps the most sinister figure at the trial was the cultivated Technocrat Albert up car one of the few in the Dock who received a jail term rather than a death sentence. Though Speer used millions of foreign workers As slave labor he managed to shift responsibility onto his Boorish subordinate Fritz Suckel. By taking the blame for nazism in the Brna dest avoiding any particulars Speer managed to Tell the judges what they wanted to be told. Indeed As Speer had correctly calculated his contrition contrasted with the stonewalling of his colleagues. In the Teeth of the evidence generals Jod and Keitel denied culpability for the atrocities on the Eastern front. The foppish foreign minister Joachim Ribbentrop claimed that Germany had merely emulated americans occupation of the new world. Jacob he Orrl in new Dayhew York times list hardback fiction 1.
