| | | The second volume in "New York Times"-bestselling author Shaara''s acclaimed World War II trilogy takes readers to the most famous chapter in the war--D-Day and the battle for Normandy.
Annotation:
Jeff Shaara's bestselling WWII series continues with STEEL WAVE, one of the most dramatic, nuanced, and visceral fictional accounts of D-Day ever written. Shaara takes his readers into the lives and minds of not only British and American troops, but also the German soldiers awaiting the "steel wave" invasion. Field Marshall Rommel "The Desert Fox" is given particularly complex scrutiny as a man who brilliantly and ruthlessly fought for Germany, even as he may have been involved in a plot to assassinate Hitler. Military historicals do not get much better than this.
| Praise| "The muscular prose, deft sense of military drama and relentless pacing...ups the bar for military historicals...Shaara has hit full stride." (starred review) 03/31/2008 |
