Eisenhower's Armies by Niall Barr
An authoritative and dramatic behind-the-scenes history of 'the Atlantic Alliance' during World War II.
In a splendid new book, Niall Barr provides us with an engrossing account-- BBC History Magazine Barr becomes the current standard for a comprehensive history of the campaign. -- Booklist (starred review) Excellent and engaging. This is a fascinating and dramatic tale and Barr tells it very well. Recommended. -- The Journal of Military History A very considerable achievement by one of the best of the younger generation of British military historians. -- Gary Sheffield - Military Illustrated Barr makes his specific focus the army: as a military historian, he is strong on strategy, tactics, consequences, and the manifold frustrations and disasters that could be caused by simple accidents of weather or geography. Barr is keen to demonstrate that the troops on the ground usually - after initial wariness -- found a great deal of mutual admiration. The shared respect between these servicemen from different nations who fought for a free world is an inspirational story. -- The Telegraph (London)
