Americans are justly proud of the role the United States played in liberating Europe from Nazi tyranny. For many years, we have celebrated the courage of the Allied soldiers, sailors, and aircrews who defeated Hitler's regime and restored freedom to the continent. But in recounting the heroism of the "greatest generation," Americans often overlook the wartime experiences of European people themselves - the very people for whom the war was fought

Any additional comments?
Wonderful listen and gripping account of WWII through a western lens. While this book is a perfect standalone work, I would highly recommend reading "Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin" (by Timothy Snyder) as a companion book. While Hitchcock's book provides a vivid western account, there is a whole other side of the war that goes for the most part unmentioned. Snyder's book provides a gut-wrenching account of the atrocities committed by both the German and Soviet forces in eastern Europe and helps to provide a more complete context for the war. After reading both books I felt as though I had a complete understanding of the European theater of WWII rather than a fragmented western view.
