Book summary

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.
