Description: The liberation of Europe and the destruction of the Third Reich ì is a story of courage and enduring triumph, of calamity and ì miscalculation. In this first volume of the Liberation Trilogy, ì Rick Atkinson shows why no modern reader can understand the ì ultimate victory of the Allied powers without a grasp of the ì great drama that unfolded in North Africa in 1942 and 1943. That ì first year of the Allied war was a pivotal point in American ì history, the moment when the United States began to act like a ì great power.

Beginning with the daring amphibious invasion in November ì 1942, An Army at Dawn follows the American and British ì armies as they fight the French in Morocco and Algeria, and then ì take on the Germans and Italians in Tunisia. Battle by battle, an ì inexperienced and sometimes poorly led army gradually becomes a ì superb fighting force. Central to the tale are the extraordinary ì but fallible commanders who come to dominate the battlefield: ì Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Montgomery, and Rommel.
