The Day of Battle, The War in Sicily and Italy, 1943-1944

The Day of Battle, The War in Sicily and Italy, 1943-1944

by Rick Atkinson

  • HISTORY
  • 2008
  • PAPER
  • 791 PAGES

Atkinson fills this narrative of the Allied campaign in Italy with rich historical detail, tactical analysis and first-person historical documents. He makes a convincing case that the Mediterranean campaign played a decisive role in breaking German power, forcing the Wehrmacht onto a defensive it could never abandon. A worthy follow-up to his 2003 Pulitzer Prize-winner, An Army At Dawn.  (ITA17, $17.00)
