The Guns at Last Light

Rick Atkinson

Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Rick Atkinson concludes his "Liberation Trilogy" (An Army at Dawn, The Day of Battle) with this sweeping account of the war in Western Europe from 1944-45. D-Day marked the commencement of the final campaign of the European war, and Atkinson's nuanced account of that bold gamble sets the pace for the masterly narrative that follows. When Germany at last surrenders, we understand anew both the devastating cost of this global conflagration and the enormous effort required to win the Allied victory.
