I subscribe to several different ebook sales notification services. One of those is BookBub.
In the email I received from them yesterday they noted that the 599 page ebook edition of Sicily ’43: The First Assault on Fortress Europe by James Holland https://www.griffonmerlin.com/ is currently available from Amazon for only $1.99. The book was published in 2020. It is a detailed account of the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943. I have the book in my reading list already, but have not read it yet. I have read two of his other books, Big Week: The biggest air battle of World War IIand Normandy ’44: D-Day and the Epic 77-Day Battle for France. They were both superb WWII history reads.
If you are a student of WWII history you should act now to add this book to your bookshelf. These sales often last only a few days, so better to act soon.
If you have an interest in the WWII era of history, you may find these three pages of interest.
- The “World War II Resources” page is a constantly growing collection of more than 590 links to museums, memorials, websites, Facebook pages, Twitter feeds, and other sources with information on the World War II era in history.
- The “World War II Timeline” page expands almost daily and shows events leading up to WWII, as well as during the war. Events are broken down into the Pacific and European Theaters by date.
- The About WWII page is a collection of links to posts that I have made over the years that are relevant to WWII. Included are links to many fiction and non-fiction books on WWII that I have read and reviewed. There are also links to WWII oriented podcasts.
