Ronald Drez is an award-winning and best-selling author and historian. Along with Stephen Ambrose, he designed the D-Day to the Rhine Tour. Dr. Ambrose hand-picked his Eisenhower Center deputy to lead those tours and to help develop other tours like the Band of Brothers® Tour and The Italian Campaign Tour.

Drez, a decorated Marine combat veteran from the Vietnam War, was the first to encounter the now legendary Band of Brothers in 1988. He has interviewed more than 4,000 WWII veterans, showcasing their stories in his many writings (see ronalddrez.com).

His passion and enthusiasm leave our guests with the memories of a lifetime. To quote one of our travelers, “Ron Drez was the history professor you wanted in college but couldn’t get because his classes were always full. His stories are fascinating.”
