'James Holland is the best of the new generation of WW2
historians.' Sebastian Faulks'Holland's skill lies in bringing
these warriors to life with vivid prose.' The TimesShortlisted for
the 2021 British Army Military Book of the
Year_________________________________________________This is the
story of the biggest seaborne landing in history. Codenamed
Operation HUSKY, the assault on Sicily on 10 July 1943 remains the
largest amphibious invasion ever mounted. That day, over 160,000
Allied troops were dropped from the sky or came ashore to begin the
fight for Europe.The subsequent thirty-eight-day Battle for Sicily
was one of the most dramatic of the entire war, involving daring
raids by special forces, deals with the Mafia, attacks across
mosquito-infested plains and perilous assaults up almost sheer
faces of rock and scree. Made worse by virulent disease and extreme
heat, the Allies also had to fight their way across an island of
unforgiving landscape and limited infrastructure against a German
foe who would not give up. Victory would signal the beginning of
the end of the War in the West.From here on, the noose began to
tighten around the neck of Nazi Germany. The coalition between the
United States and Britain finally came of age. And it was a crucial
dry run for Operation OVERLORD, the invasion of Normandy on D-Day a
year later.
