Este libro, galardonado con el Premio Pulitzer de Historia 2003, ha sido considerado por el Wall Street Journal como el mejor relato sobre la segunda guerra mundial, desde las obras clásicas de Cornelius Ryan El día más largo y Un puente demasiado lejano. La liberación de Europa y la destrucción del Tercer Reich es una historia épica de valor y sufrimiento, de aciertos, errores y de triunfo final. Pero ningún lector de nuestros días puede entender la victoria de los Aliados sin partir del inmenso drama que se desarrolló en el norte de Africa en 1942 y 1943. El relato de Atkinson comienza con la operación «Antorcha» y la lucha inicial contra los franceses para proseguir con el enfrentamiento de las tropas aliadas con el ejército alemán. En aquel escenario terrible fue donde aquéllas aprendieron el coste de vencer a un enemigo formidable y donde se forjaron la mayoría de los grandes generales de la segunda guerra mundial como Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley o Montgomery frente a guerreros tan prestigiosos como Rommel o Kesselring. Pero más allá de los grandes nombres, Atkinson nos conduce hasta la primera línea de fuego donde el combate, la muerte en las trincheras y las anónimas tragedias comunes a todas las guerras nos muestran el rostro profundamente humano de una batalla crucial para el destino de la civilización.

Work Description
The liberation of Europe and defeat of the Third Reich is an epic story of courage and calamity, of miscalculation and enduring triumph. Sixty years after America joined the struggle, Atkinson shows why no modern reader can understand the Allied victory without a grasp of what unfolded in North Africa in 1942-943, where American officers learned how to lead, soldiers learned how to hate, and an army learned what it takes to vanquish a formidable enemy.
