Book Description
Excerpt from The European War, Vol. 3: September 1915 March 1916 The second attack, near Armentieres, opened at about half past four in the morning and, after lasting until three o'clock in the afternoon, also resulted in the British, after an initial advance, finding themselves obliged to retire to the point from whence they had started. The attack near Neuve Chapelle had little better luck; a German trench or two were won, but no important prog ress was made. While the attack near Givenchy made almost no progress and need not be given further atten tion. Of course it should be said that none of these attacks were really expected to gain ground. Their object was to confuse the German commanders as to the point at which the real attack should be launched, and thus prevent them to as large an extent as possible from concentrating the strength of their reserve forces at any one point. This expectation of the British, however, was only met in part, since in spite of the rather naive men tality with which the British commanders credit their German opponents, in this war, at least, they have not been able at any time to mystify them completely, and on this occasion the British commanders did undoubtedly have, to some extent, the effect Which they desired, and induced the German commanders to scatter a portion of their reserves; yet enough remained concentrated and mobile to be of paramount importance in the subsequent battle.

Book Description
This volume provides a comprehensive guide to three major theaters of combat: the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and the Indian Ocean.

Land forces ultimately won World War II, but the battles at sea fundamentally altered the balance of military power on the ground.

Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The magnificent conclusion to Rick Atkinson's acclaimed Liberation Trilogy about the Allied triumph in Europe during World War II It is the twentieth century's unrivaled epic: at a staggering price, the United States and its allies liberated Europe and vanquished Hitler. In the first two volumes of his bestselling Liberation Trilogy, Rick Atkinson recounted how the American-led coalition fought through North Africa and Italy to the threshold of victory. Now, in The Guns at Last Light, he tells the most dramatic story of all—the titanic battle for Western Europe. D-Day marked the commencement of the final campaign of the European war, 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 Operation Market Garden, the horrific 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 mesmerizing 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 teenage riflemen. When Germany at last surrenders, we understand 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 unshackled a continent and preserved freedom in the West.
