Title: Not a good buy.
Review: I bought Ambrose's The Wild Blue to learn about the 15th Air Force and about the B-24 bomber. I learned much about both. I also learned about the younger George McGovern, who featured in none of the blurbs. A greater concern has to do with the padding of the work. Repetitious accounts, an overly large font, innumerable notes, pages of acknowlegements and bibliography combine to reduce a 300 page publication to some 240 pages of text. I have read other books by Ambrose, D-Day, Citizen Soldiers, Nothing Like It In The World, Undaunted Courage, and been impressed by excellent writing, in-depth research, and good story telling. Not so with The Wild Blue, a book which appears to have more to do with cashing in on Ambrose's name and reputation than anything else.
