#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERThe magnificent conclusion to Rick Atkinson's acclaimed Liberation Trilogy about the Allied triumph in Europe during World War IIIt is the twentieth century's unrivaled epic: at a staggering price, the United States and its allies liberated Europe and vanquished Hitler. In the first two volumes of his bestselling Liberation Trilogy, Rick Atkinson recounted how the American-led coalition fought through North Africa and Italy to the threshold of victory. Now, in The Guns at Last Light, he tells the most dramatic story of all—the titanic battle for Western Europe.D-Day marked the commencement of the final campaign of the European war, and Atkinson's riveting account of that bold gamble sets the pace for the masterly narrative that follows. The brutal fight in Normandy, the liberation of Paris, the disaster that was Operation Market Garden, the horrific Battle of the Bulge, and finally the thrust to the heart of the Third Reich—all these historic events and more come alive with a wealth of new material and a mesmerizing cast of characters. Atkinson tells the tale from the perspective of participants at every level, from presidents and generals to war-weary lieutenants and terrified teenage riflemen. When Germany at last surrenders, we understand anew both the devastating cost of this global conflagration and the enormous effort required to win the Allied victory.With the stirring final volume of this monumental trilogy, Atkinson's accomplishment is manifest. He has produced the definitive chronicle of the war that unshackled a continent and preserved freedom in the West. One of The Washington Post's Top 10 Books of the YearA Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of 2013

I bought this book because it received a good review in Military Officer Magazine if memory serves and it sat on my shelf for months. I’ve read plenty of WWII military history and wasn’t sure there would be much more to learn at this point but Rick Atkinson has written a very readable account of the last year of the war in Europe from D-Day to the German surrender of the Third Reich. Unbeknownst to me at the time this is the final book of a trilogy with the first book covering the North African invasion, book two is about the Italian campaign. Atkinson follows the popular style of authors like Cornelius Ryan, Stephen Ambrose, Max Hastings and Ian Kershaw where he tells the story from multiple participants’ viewpoints. It’s a winning technique and builds a narrative the reader can really relate to. Mr. Atkinson presented many interesting nuggets of information that I’d never seen anywhere else such as Reichsmarshall Hermann Goering’s marshal’s baton was “sixteen inches long and encrusted with 640 diamonds, twenty gold eagles, and twenty platinum crosses”. After Goering’s capture it was used as a prop to sell war bonds in the U.S. Guess Goering knew how to accessorize, but that little trifle speaks to the kind of personality he was. I enjoyed reading this book and have decided to read the other two in reverse order since starting with the third will read the second book “The Day of Battle” next. Highly recommended to WWII buffs everywhere.
