Audiobook Review: Citizen Soldiers by Stephen Ambrose

Citizen Soldiers

by Stephen Ambrose

Narrated by George Wilson

This a captivating history of World War II told mostly from the stories of American GI Veterans, it has some stories from other nations but the focus of the book is American soldiers, their creativity, their ingenuity, and their struggles in Europe during the war. 

While this book is full of great tales of heroism, it also is almost terrifyingly honest, soldiers recall long nights in trenches and the horrors that brought men to tears, shaking in fear, self-inflicted wounds, and extremely courageous acts. 

This book brings the war into the imagination or the reader with a large amount of personal stories told with emotion and passion.

I think that George Wilson, although not a bad narrator, was a little inexpressive. I have listened to narrators that are far more sleep inducing.

The story is enough to keep you awake though, don't worry.
