The Guns at Last Light: The War in Western Europe, 1944-1945 by Rick Atkinson |
The last in Atkinson's Liberation Trilogy reveals how, at a staggering price, the U.S. and allies liberated Europe and vanquished Hitler. We relive in breathtaking details: D-Day, the brutal Normandy fighting, the Paris liberation, the disaster of Operation Market Garden and the horrific Battle of the Bulge. The stirring pace never relaxes; Atkinson's critical faculty never clouds. This magnificent chronicle is a respectful, shining, loving homage to all those who fell for what we enjoy today.
