Overview: An improbable soldier, the greatest seaborne landing in history
Sicily, July 1943. After nearly four years of war, Hitler’s Fortress Europe is under siege. An invasion fleet of 3,000 ships, thousands of men, supported by countless aircraft is heading for the shores of Sicily.
Newly-demoted Private Archie Atwell yearns for landfall, victory, and an opportunity to prove himself to his father.
