Requirements: .ePUB reader, 15.4 MB
Overview: “One of the best narratives of the war in Sicily, Italy, and the West those areas where American participation was steadily increasing.” —Saturday Review
The New Statesman has called Alan Moorehead “the most brilliant of war correspondents.” Eclipse, first published at the end of World War II, covers his experiences with the advancing armies in Sicily and Southern Italy, leading up to the capture of Rome; tells the dramatic story of the Allied landings in Normandy, the advance through Northern France and Belgium, and the crossing of the Rhine; reports the occupation and collapse of Germany, the horrors of the concentration camps there, and the contrasting joys of the liberation of Denmark and Norway.
It is a work in which personal experiences and historic events are made both vivid and memorable. Alan Moorehead combines the best virtues of war analysis, historical narrative, social comment, and personal drama in his descriptions of Europe’s cities and their peoples and in his reports of soldiers under the strain of battle— GI’s spending Christmas in the Ardennes under attack from Panzers and V.1 rockets; the Maquis in Paris; the Dutch civilians in the cellars of Arnhem.
Like The March to Tunis, Eclipse shows the greatest living war reporter at his most remarkable.
