Description

Eclipse, a pivotal moment in World War II history, is recounted by Alan Moorehead in this gripping account. The code name given to the Allies' occupation of Germany, Moorehead's experiences in Sicily and southern Italy are at the heart of the story.

Moorehead reconstructs the events leading up to the capture of Rome, the liberation of Paris, and the Allied advance through northern France and Belgium, as well as the crossing of the Rhine. He also describes the collapse of Germany, the wholesale destruction, mass surrenders, and the unimaginable horrors of the concentration camps.

This harrowing tale is presented in the SECOND WORLD WAR VOICES series in partnership with the podcast We Have Ways of Making You Talk, and features a new introduction by James Holland. With its terrifying detail, Eclipse offers a compelling insight into one of the most significant periods in modern history.
