"Dundee nodded, slowly, tried to see Henley's face, gone now, as though he never existed. The word came to him again, the word they all understood: expendable. He put his hand on his waist, felt for the pouch, the rocks. He pulled the pouch around in front of him, unfastened the strap, held it up. Mission accomplished. Those bloody engineers had better make some use of this. We lost a good man...for a bag of rocks." The second novel in Jeff Shaara's trilogy of World War II begins with a covert operation to survey the beaches of Normandy. It ends five months after the massive invasion that from land, looked like a Steel Wave coming in to shore. Continuing in the tradition of historical and storytelling excellence, Shaara relates the events of the beginning of the end of World War II. As in his previous novel, The Steel Wave uses points of view from the generals on down to a sergeant. This gives the reader a good feel as to the strategy and the down-in-the trenches view of these battles of Northern France. One can appreciate Shaara's historical accuracy, as well as his gift of storytelling. If you're looking for good historical fiction, it doesn't get any better.
