About This Item
This is volume one of The Liberation Trilogy.
From back cover:
The LIBERATION OF EUROPE AND THE DESTRUCTION OF THE THIRD REICH is an epic story of courage and calamity, of miscalculation and enduring triumph. In this first volume of the Liberation Trilogy, Rick Atkinson shows why no modern reader can understand the ultimate victory of the Allied powers without a grasp of the great drama that unfolded in North Africa in 1942 and 1943.
Opening with the daring amphibious invasion in November 1942, An Army at Dawn follow the American and British armies as they fight the French in Morocco and Algeria, and then take on the Germans and Italians in Tunisia. Battle by battle, an inexperienced and often poorly led army gradually becomes a superb fighting force. At the center of the tale are the extraordinary but flawed commanders who come to dominate the battlefield: Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Montgomery, and Rommel.
Brilliantly researched, rich with new material and surprising insights, Atkinson's vivid narrative tells the deeply human story of a monumental battle for the future of civilization.
Good condition. Some edge and corner wear. some rubbing, some bumping, light soiling. Text is clean and binding is good. A good reading copy.
