Rick Atkinson. Atkinson concludes his
series on the war in Europe and North Africa with this superb work.
Though lacking an overall theme, the book is distinguished by its
astonishing range of coverage peopling the pages are German, British,
French, Canadian, and (primarily) American generals and common soldiers.
Excerpts from the letters of dead soldiers on both sides, as well as
from the diaries of captain generals, fill out the story. It is hard to imagine a better history of the western
front's final phase.--Publishers WeeklySunday, February 24, 2013
