Collected here for the first time are fifteen essays that span over 100 years of American history-and the remarkable thirty-year career of America''s foremost historian and New York Times bestselling author of D-Day, Undaunted Courage, and Citizen Soldiers. Stephen E. Ambrose''s vivid and compelling essays take you to the heart of America''s wars, from Grant''s stunning Fourth of July victory at Vicksburg, to Nixon''s surprise Christmas bombing of Hanoi.
