Bitter Victory: The Battle for Sicily, 1943
By: Carlo D'Este
Paperback
688 Pages

Bitter Victory illuminates a chapter of World War II that has lacked a balanced, full-scale treatment until now. In recounting the second-largest amphibious operation in military history, this book reveals the conflicts in planning and the behind-the-scenes quarrels between top Allied commanders.

The book explores the myth of the Patton-Montgomery rivalry and exposes how Alexander's inept generalship nearly wrecked the campaign. Rendered in chilling detail we explore the series of savage battles fought against an overmatched but brilliant foe, and how the Germans - against overwhelming odds - carried out one of the greatest strategic withdrawals in history.
