On July 10, 1943, the largest amphibious invasion ever mounted took place, larger even than the Normandy invasion 11 months later: 160,000 American, British, and Canadian troops came ashore or were parachuted onto Sicily, signaling the start of the campaign to defeat Nazi Germany on European soil. Operation HUSKY, as it was known, was enormously complex, involving dramatic battles on land, in the air, and at sea. Yet, despite its paramount importance to ultimate Allied victory, and its drama, very little has been written about the 38-day Battle for Sicily.

Excellent account of a neglected campaign
Revisado: 11-10-24
James Holland does a remarkable job of combining the strategic and battlefield view, finally doing justice to a crucial battle in World War II. The narrator is excellent, gets pronunciations right for all involved. Holland gives the story from all sides, including civilians caught in the storm. Can’t recommend highly enough!
