In this first volume of Rick Atkinson’s highly anticipated Liberation Trilogy, he shows why no modern reader can understand the ultimate victory of the Allied powers in May 1945 without a solid understanding of the events that took place in North Africa during 1942 and 1943. Atkinson convincingly demonstrates that the first year of the Allied war effort was a pivotal point in American history, the moment when the United States began to act like a great military power.
