The Victors book by Ambrose in mind blowing. It's recording the history of many stories of men who served under Ike. Of course, there is a lot of D-Day stories and I'm numbed by the numbers of men who died on that one day. In some cases the transport would open up to allow the soldiers to storm the beach, but all 30+ men would be killed before getting out. It gives a lot of perspective to the current situation in Iraq and still makes me made that the French government has not supported us after so many American and British soldiers were killed in the liberation of France.
