Description
The best single-volume history of the war ever written' DOMINIC SANDBOOK, SUNDAY TIMES `A masterly account of that epic conflict' ROBERT HARRIS The anniversary edition of multi-million copy bestselling author Max Hastings's seminal one-volume history of World War Two, published for the 80th anniversary of the end of the war. This is a study of the greatest and most terrible event in history, which shows its impact upon hundreds of millions of people around the world - soldiers, sailors and airmen; British housewives and Indian peasants; SS killers and the citizens of Leningrad; Japanese suicide pilots and American carrier crews. This is the `everyman's story'. It is an attempt to answer the question: `What was the Second World War like?' 'This global history of the Second World War is the best there is' NIGEL JONES, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH `No other general history of the war amalgamates so successfully the gut-wrenching personal details and the essential strategic arguments. Hastings has triumphed' HEW STRACHAN, THE TIMES `No one could be better qualified than Max Hastings to write a single-volume history that covers every aspect of the Second World War. You will love this splendid book' ANDREW ROBERTS, FINANCIAL TIMES
