Title: Not Ambrose's best, but still very informative
Review: I love Ambrose's work, and I especially love Band of Brothers and Citizen Soldiers. I read Wild Blue right after Band of Brothers and must say that I was a little disappointed in Wild Blue. I did not feel the kind of emotional bond with the "characters" in Wild Blue that I did with those in Band of Brothers.Despite that, I would still recommend reading the book. The book is a slow starter, but it picks up as soon as the crew moves to Europe - at which point the book is a serious page-turner. I found it very informative and the stories/personal-accounts very compelling. The ending in particular was the most human element of the book and I enjoyed it very much.Bottom Line: If you are interested in McGovern, the Air War in Europe then read this... if you need to choose betweem BoB and Wild Blue - choose Band of Brothers!
