Hardcover:The Liberation of Europe and the destruction of the Third Reich is an epic story of courage and calamity, of miscalculation and enduring triumph. Now sixty odd years on after America joined this titanic struggle, Rick Atkinson shows why no modern leader can understand the ultimate victory of the Allied powers without a grasp of the drama that unfolded in North Africa in 1942 and 1943. Most of the West's great battle captains emerged in North Africa, including men whose names remain familiar generations later - Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley and Montgomery. Atkinson brings these commanders and others vividly to life, along with enemy generals such as Rommel and Kesselring. An Army at Dawn is history of the highest order, brilliantly researched rich with new material and surprising insights.
