In the first two volumes of his bestselling Liberation
Trilogy, Rick Atkinson recounted how the American-led coalition
fought through North Africa and Italy to the threshold of victory.
Now he tells the most dramatic story of all - the titanic battle
for Western Europe. D-Day marked the commencement of the European
war''s final campaign, and Atkinson''s riveting account of that bold
gamble sets the pace for the masterly narrative that follows. The
brutal fight in Normandy, the liberation of Paris, the disaster
that was Market Garden, the horrific Battle of the Bulge, and
finally the thrust to the heart of the Third Reich - all these
historic events and more come alive with a wealth of new material
and a mesmerizing cast of characters. With the stirring final
volume of this monumental trilogy, Rick Atkinson''s remarkable
accomplishment is manifest. He has produced the definitive
chronicle of the war that unshackled a continent and preserved
freedom in the West.
