Description

Pulitzer Prize, History, 2003

The liberation of Europe and the destruction of the Third Reich is a story of courage and enduring triumph, of calamity and miscalculation. In this first volume of the Liberation Trilogy, Rick Atkinson shows why no modern learner can understand the ultimate victory of the Allied powers without a grasp of the great drama that unfolded in North Africa in 1942 and 1943. That first year of the Allied war was a pivotal point in American history, the moment when the United States began to act like a great power.

Beginning with the daring amphibious invasion in November 1942, An Army at Dawn follows the American and British armies as they fight the French in Morocco and Algeria, and then take on the Germans and Italians in Tunisia. Battle by battle, an inexperienced and sometimes poorly led army gradually becomes a superb fighting force. Central to the tale are the extraordinary but fallible commanders who come to dominate the battlefield: Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Montgomery, and Rommel.

Brilliantly researched, rich with new material and vivid insights, Atkinson's narrative provides the definitive history of the war in North Africa.

An Army at Dawn is the winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for History.

Extreme detail about an obscure battle

This book wasn’t what I was expecting, but that’s okay. I had always seen the North African campaign of WW2 as a sideshow when compared to the significance and scale of the battles to come. What I got was an almost incredibly detailed analysis of not only overall strategies, but also of the day-to-day and unit-to-unit tactical maneuvering within what felt like every single unit-level confrontation of the campaign. This could get tedious at times, and it REALLY helps to have access to maps of the area in order to follow the action; but overall I came to appreciate it.

I now have a massively greater appreciation of this campaign, as well as greater understanding of military tactics. I plan to listen to the next two books in this trilogy.
