The Day of Battle: The War in Sicily and Italy, 1943-1944 (The Liberation Trilogy) description
Amazon Significant Seven, November 2007: Topping a Pulitzer Prize-winning effort is tough; finding originality in a World War II narrative is even tougher. Yet Rick Atkinson accomplishes both with The Day of Battle: The War in Sicily and Italy, 1943-1944. His previous work, An Army at Dawn, won the 2003 Pulitzer in history, but Atkinson has managed to set the bar even higher with his second installment in "The Liberation Trilogy." He descends upon each battlefield with rich historical perspective, tactical analysis, and chilling frontline observations. Cocksure Hollywood bravado is sparse, as Atkinson depicts soldiers fighting for honor, not glory. "We did it because we could not bear the shame of being less than the man beside us," explains one soldier's diary. "We fought because he fought; we died because he died." The result is an incredible portrayal of the courage, sorrow, and determination that came to define our greatest generation. --Dave Callanan |

Great Book,but......

Dear Whoever reads this
I loved the content of the book,however,the book arrived in a damaged state.The rear cover had a puncture that went clear through to the other side.I inspected the wrappings as well as the box it came in,and there was no damage to the packaging.It was apparantly packed in a damaged state.It was however a first edition,so I kept it. |
