NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

In the second volume of his epic trilogy about the liberation of Europe in World War II, Pulitzer Prize winner Rick Atkinson tells the harrowing story of the campaigns in Sicily and Italy

In An Army at Dawn--winner of the Pulitzer Prize--Rick Atkinson provided a dramatic and authoritative history of the Allied triumph in North Africa. Now, in The Day of Battle, he follows the strengthening American and British armies as they invade Sicily in July 1943 and then, mile by bloody mile, fight their way north toward Rome.

The Italian campaign's outcome was never certain; in fact, Roosevelt, Churchill, and their military advisers engaged in heated debate about whether an invasion of the so-called soft underbelly of Europe was even a good idea. But once under way, the commitment to liberate Italy from the Nazis never wavered, despite the agonizingly high price. The battles at Salerno, Anzio, and Monte Cassino were particularly difficult and lethal, yet as the months passed, the Allied forces continued to drive the Germans up the Italian peninsula. Led by Lieutenant General Mark Clark, one of the war's most complex and controversial commanders, American officers and soldiers became increasingly determined and proficient. And with the liberation of Rome in June 1944, ultimate victory at last began to seem inevitable.

Drawing on a wide array of primary source material, written with great drama and flair, this is narrative history of the first rank. With The Day of Battle, Atkinson has once again given us the definitive account of one of history's most compelling military campaigns.

Gourmet drizzle of deliciousness
Flavor Name: Variety Pack 2, Size: 16.5 fl oz (Pack of 4)
Torani is a great product - very happy we were able to order them through Amazon. They last without being refrigerated (but we go through them fast during parties). The syrups taste like they're from an ice cream shop - we use them for ice cream parties for variety. This set is a great price compared to buying in-store. The syrup is not watery, it's a nice thick syrup that is great for coffee or desserts. The consistency is not as thick as a fudge topping, but thick enough to drizzle, if that makes sense. Will buy again!

Ranked and reviewed by flavor
Flavor Name: Variety Pack 2, Size: 16.5 fl oz (Pack of 4)
Not using these syrups in coffee or drinks, just on muffins, breadsticks and ice cream. Here are the individual reviews from best to worst: -Caramel: almost perfect creamy pure caramel taste. Only flaw is I wish it were thicker. 9/10. -Dark Chocolate: has that classic slightly bittersweet dark countenance. You can almost taste a pleasant burnt cocoa bean flavor. Only flaw is that it is a bit too thick. 8/10. -Chocolate Caramel: not a perfect 50/50 blend, tastes more like a 70/30 blend in favor of caramel. Consistency is perfect, just the right thickness. 7/10. -White Chocolate: doesn't taste like WC whatsoever. It tastes like sickly sweet birthday cake icing in liquid form. Worst of all it is runny with no thcikness. 4/10.

Love these syrups. Can use them for coffee. Hot chocolate and other stuff. Medium bottle size so the shelf life doesn’t end to fast as with a big bottle. They smell like the flavor. Overall I think they are a high quality and a great value for the money. So versatile

So good!
Flavor Name: Variety Pack 2, Size: 16.5 fl oz (Pack of 4)
am seriously impressed with the Torani Puremade Dessert & Drink Sauce Variety Pack—this is a total game changer for at-home coffee and desserts. The flavors are rich, smooth, and taste like something you’d get from a high-end coffee shop. The chocolate and caramel options are especially standout—perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and they actually taste real, not artificial. You can tell these are made with better-quality ingredients compared to typical syrups. What I love most is how versatile they are. I’ve used them in: • Coffee (hot and iced) • Lattes and cold brew • Drizzling over ice cream and desserts • Even mixing into protein shakes for a treat The consistency is perfect—thick enough to drizzle beautifully but still easy to blend into drinks. And a little goes a long way, so the bottles last longer than expected. If you’re trying to recreate that coffeehouse experience at home, this variety pack is absolutely worth it. It adds that extra touch that makes your drinks feel indulgent without needing to leave the house. Highly recommend—will definitely be buying again!
