The Guns at Last Light: The War in Western Europe, 1944-1945 by Rick Atkinson

4.0

Epic, for better or worse. In cramming so much into so few pages, the battle scenes sometimes feel rushed, or under-described, and I would gladly trade more depth there for fewer descriptions of scenery, logistics, or diplomatic discussions. An excellent read, though, almost a page-turner, with several key players -- Churchill, especially -- leaping largely to life. The Liberation Trilogy is study-worthy, but also wildly entertaining. An achievement.
