“From "Britain's finest military
historian" (The Economist) comes a magisterial new history of World War II
and the flawed axis strategy that led to their defeat. The Second World War
lasted for 2,174 days, cost $1.5 trillion, and claimed the lives of more than
50 million people. What were the factors that affected the war's outcome? Why
did the Axis lose? And could they, with a different strategy, have won? Andrew
Roberts's acclaimed new history has been hailed as the finest single-volume
account of this epic conflict. From the western front to North Africa, from the
Baltic to the Far East, he tells the story of
the war—the grand strategy and the individual experience, the cruelty and the
heroism—as never before. In researching this magnificently vivid history,
Roberts walked many of the key battlefields and wartime sites in Russia,
France, Italy, Germany, and the Far East, and drew on a number of
never-before-published documents, such as a letter from Hitler's director of
military operations explaining the reasoning behind the FÜhrer's order to halt
the Panzers outside Dunkirk—a delay that enabled British forces to evacuate.
Roberts illuminates the principal actors on both sides and analyzes how they
reached critical decisions. He also presents the tales of many little-known
individuals whose experiences form a panoply of the extraordinary courage and
self-sacrifice, as well as the terrible depravity and cruelty, of the Second
World War. Meticulously researched and masterfully written, The Storm of War
gives a dramatic account of this momentous event and shows in remarkable detail
why the war took the course it did..”
