INDEX

It is the twentieth century s unrivaled epic:
at a staggering price, the United States and its allies van¬
quished Hitler and liberated Europe. In the first two
volumes of his bestselling Liberation Trilogy, Rick Atkin¬
son recounted how the American-led coalition fought
through North Africa and Italy to the threshold of victory.
Now he tells the most dramatic story of all
—
the titanic
battle for Western Europe.
D-Day marked the commencement of the European
war s final campaign, 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 MARKET GARDEN, the hor¬
rific 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 mesmer¬
izing 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 teen¬
age riflemen. When Germany at last surrenders, we un¬
derstand 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 un¬
shackled a continent and preserved freedom in the West.
