Book Reviews of The Rising Tide: A Novel of World War II
Book Review: Read how the Americans won World War II!
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a solid fictional account of the Allies efforts in North Africa, before moving to Sicily. I enjoy the format of the book, but the style is a little dry at times, and heavily biased in favour of the Americans. I was bored of reading about how great America was by the end, and had heard often enough of how the British army slowed them down. You'd never know the Russians were even in the war, but then again that is not the point of this book. At the time of reading I have little knowledge of the historical aspects of the war in North Africa, so I can't vouch for it's authenticity, but the book is definitely a decent read. I am not sure yet if I will read the other two books in this planned trilogy.
