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

5.0

A terrific end to the trilogy. I read the various histories of WWII throughout my childhood and enjoyed them very much, though there was always an element of propaganda about them (they essentially dismissed the entire eastern front). While this trilogy purposely focuses on the western front, it no longer dismisses the importance of the Soviet contribution to the destruction of Hitler's Reich. splendidly written to give both a great high level perspective while also adding a myriad of human-level perspectives, this series should be read by anyone wishing to learn about WWII.
