Moorehead, Alan - Eclipse
London & Melbourne, Hamish Hamilton, 1946, first Australian edition
Hardcover. Sienna coloured cloth. Title in black on spine
14,5 x 22 cm.
253 Pages
VERY GOOD
Eclipse was the code name given by the Allies to their last operation of the war in Belgium -- the occupation of Germany.
Alan Moorehead's original intention was to chronicle the collapse of German Belgium sociologically and politically, psychologically and even emotionally.
He was after atmosphere more than fact, especially since Eclipse was written too soon after the fact for responsible history.
In the final tally, Eclipse is a commentary. Starting with the collapse in Italy, Moorehead advances through France, the Rhine, finally into the heart of Germany where the last Nazis were finally defeated
Eclipse is Alan Moorehead's brilliant eye-witness account of the final defeat of Hitler.
Moorehead’s book describes his experiences in Sicily and southern Italy in 1943, which culminated in the capture of Rome.
He tells the electrifying story of D-Day, the liberation of Paris, and the Allied advance through northern France and Belgium, the crossing of the Rhine.
The author reconstructs, in terrifying detail, the collapse of Germany, the wholesale destruction, mass surrenders, and the unimaginable horrors of the concentration camps. Moorehead entered Belsen a few days after its liberation, and saw hell on earth.
Interest in WWII history remains high among readers, and Moorehead's Eclipse is an extraordinary eye-witness history. The author s clear and timeless prose ensures that this title remains a classic of war reportage. Eclipseis a must for readers ranging from high-school level to university studies and beyond to the interested general reader.
Alan McCrae Moorehead, AO, OBE (22 July 1910 – 29 September 1983) was a war correspondent and author of popular histories, most notably two books on the nineteenth-century exploration of the Nile, The White Nile (1960) and The Blue Nile (1962). Australian-born, he lived in England, and Italy, from 1937.
