THE DAY OF BATTLE (Vol II of Liberation Trilogy) by RICK ATKINSON (HC 2007)

Description: We are proud of our packaging! VOLUME 2 OF ACCLAIMED TRILOGY ABOUT WORLD WAR 2 IN EUROPE THIS IS VOLUME TWO of Rick Anderson's acclaimed Liberation Trilogy that tells the epic story of the Allied destruction of Hitler's Third Reich. It's a story of courage, determination, ingenuity - a few costly mistakes - and ultimate triumph. The series begins with the war in North Africa from 1942 to 1943 when Allied forces came into conflict with well-trained, well-led and well-equipped German soldiers. It was a learning experience - but the Allies eventually triumphed in North Africa's desert, setting up the process that led to the fall of the Nazis.Author Rick Atkinson - a Pulitzer Prize winner - has the gift of combining deep research with riveting story-telling. We read not only about grand strategies and tactics but also the human stories of the soldiers of every rank who did the fighting. The first volume in the trilogy is An Army at Dawn, focused on the North Africa campaigns, and this second, The Day of Battle, describes the fighting in Sicily and Italy. The third, The Guns at Last Light, takes the war into Germany itself and final victory.
