5.0�toiles sur 5 Pegasus Bridge book review., Jui 13 2004

Par	Stephen W. (U.K.) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Pegasus Bridge (Paperback)

This is the story of the Ox and Bucks regiment who captured Pegasus bridge on D-Day. This book is superb it gives an excellent account of the importance of the mission and the training of the men leading up to the actual assault and capture of the bridge. The book then goes on to explain how the bridge was held and includes good detail of when the re-enforcements arrived. The book is written very well and it has lots of eye witness accounts in it by people who were actually there. I recently visited the bridge during the 60th anniversary of D-Day and I would certainly reccommend reading the book if you are to visit the bridge ( I would also reccommend a visit to Pegasus bridge). This book has inspired me to purchase another book titled "The devils own luck" which is about the Ox and Bucks regiment after Pegasus bridge up to the end of the war.

2.0�toiles sur 5 too little, too late, Jui 25 2003

Par	C. G. Horner (london, UK) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Pegasus Bridge (Paperback)

At last Ambrose begins to tackle the massive british contribution to victory. but it is a disappointingly short and skimpy look.

Ambrose (and one notes, some US reviewers below)manages to recognise the vitory at the bridge, but understates the non US contribution overall. remember, approx 50% of all forces in Normandy were UK/Canadian - and far from failing, as one reviewer below has it, they held, and ground down, the bulk of the German forces in Normandy, enabling US forces to break out against weak opposition.

4.0�toiles sur 5 A GOOD STORY, TOLD, Avril 1 2003

Par	DAVID KNIGHTS (Louisville, KY) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Pegasus Bridge (Paperback)

Stephen Ambrose's book tells the story of D company, 6th para. and the taking of the bridges over the Orne canal and river. It is an excellent, if skimpy, telling of one of the facinating stories of WWII. I have always found the incident interesting since seeing it portrayed in "The Longest Day" It is a quick read, and I'd have liked more detail, but it is a good book none the less.
