Staff Pick
An Army at Dawn is a superbly written book on the Northern African campaign of World War II. This is a wonderful history of some of the first campaigns of the war; Atkinson maintains a balanced focus on everyone involved, from the generals down to the privates. With great insight, he details the difficulties of entering a war with an inexperienced army and the necessary components of survival and success. Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In the first volume of him monumental trilogy about the liberation of Europe in the Second World War, Pulitzer Prize-winner Rick Atkinson tells the story of the war in North Africa.
Beginning with the daring amphibious invasion in November 1942, An Army at Dawn follows the British and American armies as they fight the French in Morocco and Alferia, and then take on the Germans and Italians in Tunisia. Battle by battle, an inexperienced and sometimes poorly led army gradually turns into 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. Review:"[I]ntellectually convincing and emotionally compelling." Publishers Weekly Review:"An exemplary work that feeds anticipation of the succeeding volumes." Booklist Review:"Using battlefield reports and archival material, Atkinson tells a fascinating story of the North African campaign that is hard to stop reading, even though one knows the outcome." Library Journal Synopsis:This is the first volume of Rick Atkinson's trilogy about the Liberation of Europe in the World War II, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for History, 2003.
