A review by jgcully
An Army at Dawn: The War in North Africa, 1942-1943, Volume One of the Liberation Trilogy by Rick Atkinson

5.0

This is the best WW2 history book I have ever read, and I have read quite a lot! I was absolutely astounded by everything in this book. The detail, the passion, the narrative. Richard Atkinson has taken the magnifying glass to this sometimes overlooked aspect of the desert war; when American entered the war and learnt her deadly trade. Everything is precise and flows from the pages. I couldnt put it down and immediately ordered the next two books. Exceptional.
