Stephen Ambrose: Victory in Europe, May 1945

Summary: A live recording by one of our great historians
Review: Stephen Ambrose, one of the foremost authors on the D-Day subject, speaks to an audience of veterans at the Smithsonian. Mr. Ambrose has appeared in several films on war history, and is an accomplished speaker. In this program, he concisely describes the reasoning behind the decisions that greatly effected the way in which WWII ended. Was Eisenhower correct in allowing the Russians to take Berlin? Why didn't we predict the German counter-attack at the Battle of the Bulge when we had their top secret radio code? These are the kinds of questions that S. Ambrose attempts to answer in this fascinating tape. An important addition to collections of his WWII books.
