October 15 Rick Atkinson discusses An Army at Dawn: The War in Africa, 1942-1943, Volume One of the Liberation Trilogy. Brilliantly researched, rich with new material and fresh insights, Atkinson’s vivid narrative provides the definitive history of the war in North Africa and was awarded the 2003 Pulitzer Prize in history. “An Army At Dawn may be the best World War II battle narrative since Cornelius Ryan’s classics, The Longest Day and A Bridge Too Far.” (Wall Street Journal). Central to this tale are the extraordinary but flawed commanders who dominated the battlefield: Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Montgomery, and Rommel.
