This book vividly brings alive the dramatic situation facing Europe and the Allies after the loss of Dunkirk. Churchill and his generals--Alexander, Brooke, Wavell and Montgomery--were faced with many disasters that required courageous decisions in order to pursue their aim of victory. This is the inside story of the situations they faced, the decisions they made and the outcome of those choices. An incredible portrayal of the courage, the nerve and the commitment of those brave men who affected the course of history.

In World War II, primary sources, historical examination, and illustrations explore the causes, strategies, and resolutions of the largest conflict in human history. Alongside the comprehensive text studying the major battles, powers, and people affected by World War II, over three hundred illustrations and graphics bear witness to real individuals, places, and moments on the battlefield. Fact boxes tell the stories of the political leaders on all sides, and dynamic maps display the battles and movements of troops and fleets. These powerful primary sources and evidence combine to create a candid and expansive representation of the soldiers' lives, the Holocaust, and the ways the world was transformed.

In dit waarheidsgetrouwe, onopgesmukte verhaal van de verdediging van Moskou heeft een Engels historicus zijn eigen talent en vaardigheid bij dat van maarschalk Zjoekov gevoegd, en het resultaat is iets dat men nergens anders vindt: een uitstekend verslag van een van de grootste en verschrikkelijkste campagnes van deze eeuw. In de slag om Moskou werd de basis gelegd voor Duitslands nederlaag. Na Moskou kenden de Duitsers geen overwinningen meer in Rusland.

Met veel foto's geillustreerde biografie van de nationaal-socialistische leider (1897-1945), die als minister van volksvoorlichting en propaganda na Hitler en Goering de machtigste man in het Derde Rijk was.
