Books with title The Rising Tide

Jeff Shaara, the best-selling author of historical novels focusing on American history from the Revolution to World War I, now turns his attention to the Second World War. The Rising Tide is the first volume of a trilogy that opens in the fall of 1942, as Hitler's forces take control of western Europe. Seeing the conflicts through the eyes of the most noteworthy figures, including Eisenhower, Patton, and Rommel, gives an electric immediacy to Shaara's narrative. "Even readers who think they know a lot about the great drama and tragedy that was World War II will be fascinated, while those knowing little or nothing of the war will find themselves educated and intrigued. Highly recommended."-Library Journal
