I recently finished the Liberation Trilogy by #RickAtkinson. Overall this an excellent series that provides a strong, broad analysis of the Allies claiming victory over Germany in the West. Strongly recommended! @Books2Cover
Who says non-fiction is dull?!?
One of my favorite quotes from this book-
“The troops moved into battle like an old man with chilblains easing into a hot bath.”
