En Un ejército al amanecer –que fue ganador del Premio Pulitzer de Historia 2003- Rick Atkinson proporcionaba una historia dramática y autorizada del triunfo de los aliados en África del Norte. Ahora, en El día de la batalla, sigue a los reforzados ejércitos norteamericanos y británicos en su camino para invadir Sicilia en julio de 1943 y luego, milla tras milla de sangre, hacia el norte.
El resultado de la campaña nunca fue cierto; de hecho, Roosevelt, Churchill y sus consejeros militares se enzarzaron en un acalorado debate sobre si esa invasión era una buena idea. Pero una vez en camino, el compromiso de liberar Italia de los Nazis no flaqueó, a pesar del precio atrozmente alto. Las batallas en Salerno, Anzio, y Monte Cassino fueron particularmente difíciles y mortales pero, sin embargo, con el transcurso de los meses las fuerzas aliadas siguieron empujando a los alemanes hacia el norte de la península italiana. Y con la liberación de Roma, en junio de 1944, la victoria por fin comenzó a parecer inevitable. Utilizando una serie asombrosa de fuentes primarias, y escrito con gran dramatismo y fluidez, este libro constituye una historia narrativa de primera línea.

Work Description
In the second volume of his epic trilogy about the liberation of Europe in World War II, Pulitzer Prize winner Rick Atkinson tells the harrowing story of the campaigns in Sicily and Italy. In An Army at Dawn -- winner of the Pulitzer Prize -- Rick Atkinson provided a dramatic and authoritative history of the Allied triumph in North Africa. Now, in The Day of Battle, he follows the strengthening American and British armies as they invade Sicily in July 1943 and then, mile by bloody mile, fight their way north toward Rome. The Italian campaign's outcome was never certain; in fact, Roosevelt, Churchill, and their military advisers engaged in heated debate about whether an invasion of the so-called soft underbelly of Europe was even a good idea. But once under way, the commitment to liberate Italy from the Nazis never wavered, despite the agonizingly high price. The battles at Salerno, Anzio, and Monte Cassino were particularly difficult and lethal, yet as the months passed, the Allied forces continued to drive the Germans up the Italian peninsula. Led by Lieutenant General Mark Clark, one of the war's most complex and controversial commanders, American officers and soldiers became increasingly determined and proficient. And with the liberation of Rome in June 1944, ultimate victory at last began to seem inevitable. - Publisher.
