An Army at Dawn: The War in North Africa, 1942-1943 by Rick Atkinson |
The first of The Liberation Trilogy tells in great detail the daring amphibian American invasion in N. Africa which led to them joining the British and French to fight in Morocco and then take on the Germans and Italians in Tunisia. Atkinson's expertise, faultless eye for terrain and remorseless criticism of those generals whose boundless egoism and ambition made them as dangerous for their troops as the enemy, makes this book more enthralling than any fiction.
The other two are: The Day of Battle and The Guns at Last Light
