<i>History of the Second World War</i>, B.H. Liddell Hart's last work as well as his magnum opus, embodies the fruits of 20 years of research &amp; a lifetime of thinking on war. It abounds with controversial judgments, including provocative assertions about the true causes behind France's defeat in 1940, Hitler's failed invasion of Russia &amp; Japan's stunning victory at Pearl Harbor; the effectiveness of the Allies' strategic bombing of Germany; the questionable necessity of detonating atom bombs over Hiroshima &amp; Nagasaki; &amp; much more. This monumental history is both a crowning achievement &amp; a final summation by one of the greatest military thinkers of the 20th century.
