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

5.0

The conclusion to this awesome (but daunting) series is just as great as the first two books. I read this one on the Kindle, which made the maps a little annoying, but that's not the book's fault.

It's well-written, with a huge amount of detail. I've read a lot on World War II and there are a lot of things that I wasn't even aware of that Atkinson mentions in the book.

There are tons of notes, indices, and other things in the back. I was getting concerned that it was taking me a long time to read this and I was still only at 40-45% done. Then I ended up hitting the end around 50-55%, which tells me there is a lot in the back after the narrative itself is done.

Excellent book. All three are well worth a read.
