Well known author Jeff Shaara is in the process of delivering a trilogy of novels about the American involvement in World War 2. At this moment I'm reading the first part "Rising Tide", about the war in North Africa and Sicily.
Shaara shows the common frontline soldier as well as the leadership. Mind you, he has written novels and no historical accounts, but he knows his prime players (Rommel, Monty, Churchill) so well, that their depicted thoughts and conversations are utterly believable.
"Rising Tide" gives you an immersing reading experience. I am looking forward to the next two parts. By the way, the second one "The Steel Wave" will be out in paperback on May 19th!
