Synopsis
Historian Ambrose evokes what it was like to be in a B-24 as pilot, gunner, bombardier, or navigator, as these planes flew missions over German territory during World War II. He chronicles their training and assesses their contribution to the Allied victory--which was often at great cost to these freedom-loving men who made a difference. Much of the book focuses on pilot George S. McGovern, who was later to be the 1972 Democratic presidential candidate. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001.

"Ambrose, as always, finds poignant details, tells powerful stories."
Kirkus Reviews (05/01/2001)

"Magnify every emotion you have ever felt by 1,000% and you will understand what this story is about...Mr. Ambrose's storytelling ability is unparalleled, and the reader is transported to Mr. McGovern's side through his training, combat and homecoming."
Wall Street Journal - Randy Cunningham (08/24/2001)

"Ambrose's commitment to the what-it-was-really-like school is deep."
New York Times Book Review - Tom Ferrell (09/09/2001)

"Like Ambrose's previous books, this is a work of unapologetic, patriotic history."
Book - Sean McCann
