Finished: The Rising Tide, by Jeff Shaara 📚. A historical novel covering WWII’s Mediterranean Front roughly from the tank battles of North Africa to the Allied invasion of Italy. It mixes the prime movers (Rommel, Eisenhower, and so on) with a couple of regular soldiers. As far as I can tell the historical content is accurate, though much of the dialog is clearly imagined. Does a good job of showing the political side of the upper echelons of the military.
