In the second volume of his epic trilogy about the liberation of Europe in World War II, Pulitzer Prize winner Rick Atkinson tells the harrowing story of the campaigns in Sicily and Italy In An Army at Dawn—winner of the Pulitzer Prize—Rick Atkinson provided a dramatic and authoritative history of the Allied triumph in North Africa. Now, in The Day of Battle, he follows the strengthening American and British armies as they invade Sicily in July 1943 and then, mile by bloody mile, fight their way north toward Rome.
The Italian campaign’s outcome was never certain; in fact, Roosevelt, Churchill, and their military advisers engaged in heated debate about whether an invasion of the so-called soft underbelly of Europe was even a good idea. But once under way, the commitment to liberate Italy from the Nazis never wavered, despite the agonizingly high price. The battles at Salerno, Anzio, and Monte Cassino were particularly difficult and lethal, yet as the months passed, the Allied forces continued to drive the Germans up the Italian peninsula. Led by Lieutenant General Mark Clark, one of the war’s most complex and controversial commanders, American officers and soldiers became increasingly determined and proficient. And with the liberation of Rome in June 1944, ultimate victory at last began to seem inevitable.
Drawing on a wide array of primary source material, written with great drama and flair, this is narrative history of the first rank. With The Day of Battle, Atkinson has once again given us the definitive account of one of history’s most compelling military campaigns.

Summary: The Day of Battle: The War in Sicily and Italy 1943-1944
Comment: Once again I enjoyed my Amazon purchase. The product cost was very reasonable and delivery was prompt (3-5 business days) and the product arrived in excellent condition.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: The first volume, An Army At Dawn, was truly a magnificent book. This second volume, although a good read, appears superficial at times. The seemingly gratuitous use of the f-bomb when using quotes was a major distraction for me. It does not live up to the greatness of the first volume.

Summary: A Birthday Wish
Comment: I can't really give you a review of the book I purchased because I never read it. My youngest son (actually my baby, only in his late 40's)has a birthday in October. Its hard to buy something for someone who lives half way across the country from you. It seems to get harder each year. I know he reads a lot, but so do I. However I like to pick out my own books and figured he would feel the same way. I know we do not read the same type of books so except for sending him gift cards I have never sent him a book. This year though, I came out and said "what Would you like for your birthday? He immediately answered "The Day of Battle: the war in Sicily and Italy, 1943- 1944 (The Liberation Trilogy)" He was currently reading the first book and really liked it and even told me where to find it on Amazon. I ordered it that night and he had it in less than a week. When and if the third one comes out I'll be back and order that too. Matter of fact, if anyone else in my family liked to read I would be ordering for them too. The price was right and the service was great.

Summary: The Day of Battle
Comment: Like his previous book in this trilogy, An Army at Dawn, this book is not fun reading. However, for serious students of WWII, it is a review of the successes and the shortcomings of the political and military actions of both the American and the British efforts in the Mediterranean theatre.

Summary: War is Hell
Comment: The Day of Battle is a masterful historical narrative which vividly describes the struggle to drive the Germans out of Italy during WWII. The book is written from the perspective of the soldiers doing the fighting and puts you right in the middle of the fierce battles. While the detailed retelling of the violence can at times be gut-wrenching, the book illustrates the enormity of the sacrifice it took to free Europe from Hitler's grip.
