Book Reviews of The Day of Battle: The War in Sicily and Italy, 1943-1944 (The Liberation Trilogy)
Book Review: An excellent account on the war in Italy
Summary: 5 Stars
The battle of Sicily and Italy is commonly overshadowed by the invasion of Europe. Atkinson has produced an excellent account of this part of the war. He covers the invasion of Sicily, the battle for the Gustav line, the beaching at Anzio and the race for Rome from the highest ranking generals to the foot soldier on the ground. The book is full of quotes and interesting stories that makes it hard to put away. I think that this second part of his trilogy is the best so far. A must read for all war buffs!
