Review
Praise for The Guns at Last Light:
“A magnificent book . . . Though the story may seem familiar, I found surprising detail on every page . . . Atkinson’s account of D-Day is both masterly and lyrical . . . [He] is an absolute master of his material.” —Max Hastings, The Wall Street Journal
“A tapestry of fabulous richness and complexity . . . Atkinson is a master of what might be called ‘pointillism history,’ assembling the small dots of pure color into a vivid, tumbling narrative. . . . The Liberation Trilogy is a monumental achievement . . . densely researched but supremely readable.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Breathtaking, unforgettable . . . Atkinson provides us with especially poignant descriptions in a blaze of writing and research that matches the drama and significance of the moment, all without peer in modern history . . . This volume is a literary triumph worthy of the military triumph it explores and explains.” —The Boston Globe
