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. This gripping account of it by acclaimed author Stephen Ambrose brings to life a daring mission so crucial that, had it been unsuccessful, the entire Normandy invasion might have failed. 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.

I've been to Pegasus Bridge several times and actually shook the hand of a 6th Airborne veteran there. The Gondree Cafe is still there and still operated by the family. If you love European history in general ... and WWII history in particular ... you must read this book and visit Normandy.

I felt like I was there. Safely hidden watching how bravely our fathers fought and some having to pay with their precious lives.
I will forever be thankful for their courage and sacrifice.

Truly one of the great American writers. Ambrose wrote a stirring and compelling story recounting the early assault to secure the left flank of the D-Day forces. Fantastic book, beautifully written and wonderfully read. Highly recommend

Loved the preface and backstories prior. Phenomenal writing. Cant believe i haven’t ever heard of this preparation and attack prior. Amazing stuff.

Hadn’t heard this story before.

I knew about this bridge and how important it was for the allies to hold it. But who knew about all these details that are so interesting. If you love listening to or strategizing and are an Ambrose fan, you will love this.

Another Ambrose classic!
