Product description

Review

[John Keegan] has a remarkable capacity to appreciate both the political context of the war and its immediate meaning for those caught in the heat of battle... Lucid, informed and authoritative ― Sunday Times

In this magnificently illustrated volume, our most original military historian gives the whys and wherefores of war as well as the blood and guts. ― Mail on Sunday

John Keegan's history of World War II stands above the competition ― Preview

A graceful writer as well as a knowledgeable student of martial history, [Keegan] enlivens his chronicle with wry wit... An informed and informative accounting of a horrific war ― Kirkus Reviews
