Summary
A modern master of the historical novel, Jeff Shaara has painted brilliant depictions of the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War I. Now, The Rising Tide begins a staggering work of fiction bound to be a new generation’s most poignant chronicle of World War II.
Through unforgettable battle scenes in the unforgiving deserts of North Africa, into the “soft underbelly” of Hitler’s Fortress Europa, and as battles rage along the coasts of the Mediterranean, The Rising Tide is a vivid gallery of characters both immortal and unknown. From tank driver to paratrooper to the men who gave the commands, Shaara’s stirring portrayals bring the heroic and the tragic to life in brilliant detail.
A new level of accomplishment from this already acclaimed author, The Rising Tide will leave listeners eager for the next volume of this superb saga of the war that saved and changed the world.

Can't wait to listen to the next two books!
I'm a WW1 obsessive with WW2 a close second. Years ago I read Shaara WW1 novel and hated it. So I stayed away from his other books.
So how come I picked this? Well after sending back three books already trying to find something I enjoy with my credit I decided to go with a WW2 novel. I had decided that what ever I picked I'd keep and so after endless search and listening to samples I decided to give him another chance, he is well praised so I had to give him another go.
I think with his WW1 book it came across as the Americans won the War which bothered me. WW2 I'd take it easier.
Anyway really happy I took the plunge. The only slight issue is narrator's English accents. Though he has a voice that's easy to listen to do all cool
I say go for it if looking for WW2 novel and happy it being from allied side esp American you can't go wrong.
