Description

As the Allies prepare to liberate France at the height of World War II, one family will do everything within their power to end the war—even when it calls for the ultimate sacrifice…


The liberation of occupied France is long overdue, but the magnitude of the operation requires the combined efforts of the resistance groups across Europe. Jeremy Littlefield returns to France to prepare for the Allied invasion, Operation Overlord. An occupied country is a dangerous terrain to navigate, and as Jeremy works with his fiancée to set the plan in motion, even the smallest mistake can come at a fatal price.


At Bletchley Park, Claire Littlefield decodes a troubling message from German high command. Hitler is moving his secret weapons development resource from Norway to Bavaria. Previous attempts to stop production in Norway have failed, and now the Allies must launch another mission before they lose their chance—and they’re counting on Claire to deliver the right information to ensure their success.


After making his mark in fierce combat against Rommel’s army in North Africa, Paul Littlefield is dispatched to Italy as his battalion prepares to take the country. Many days of exhausting ground combat push Paul to his limits, and soon he realizes that this victory will require a greater sacrifice than ever before.


Lance Littlefield has been recaptured and sent back to the POW camp in Colditz Castle. His first escape was improbable; his chances of escaping a second time are slim to none. Luckily, Lance has never been afraid of taking big risks.


And in the Pacific, an amphibious landing as ambitious as the one in Europe is in the works, with cousin Josh Littlefield at its center.


DRIVING THE TIDE is the riveting sixth installment in the After Dunkirk family saga, bringing to life the darkest pages of World War II—and the unflinching bravery of regular people who rose to the challenges of their times.

As the Allies prepare to liberate France at the height of World War II, one family will do everything within their power to end the war—even when it calls for the ultimate sacrifice…

A great story of the fight to free Southern France and Italy from the views of the men who fought with the Allies to the women who fought with the Resistance to free their country from the Nazis.

This is the 6th in a series called after Dunkirk. This author is new to me and outstanding. I’ve read many books from the WWII era and I know this one is the most inclusive I’ve ever read. Very detailed oriented. The combat scenes are realistic, traumatic and well researched. The only criticism I would have of this book is that sometimes it became bogged down with description of which units, commanders, weapons etc were at a battle. With that being said, it is still 5 stars plus for me. It follows the Littlejohn family and their war efforts. Quite a dedicated, loving, patriotic family.

This is the first book I’ve read during this era that entailed the war in the Pacific and European theaters. The family is involved in both theaters. Some are POW’s, others are with the Resistance, one is at Bletchley park, etc. This author is unique in his ability to tie all of these things together. Just an amazing job. This book concludes with D Day.

The characters are memorable and so brave and stoic. Since this was the 6th in the series and I didn’t realize that, I would have taken notes about each of the family members. You can read this as a stand alone. Personally, I prefer to read books of this nature in order. I plan to go back and enjoy the previous books.

I was given an ARC to review. My review is honest and unbiased. If you already love books set in this era or are just starting to explore this era, I highly recommend this book. It gives an amazing view of how all of the war efforts worked together.
