The Second World War is the nightmare that sits at the heart of the modern era; a refutation of any notion of human progress that haunts us seventy years on. Norman Stone's gripping book tells the narrative of the war in as brief a compass as possible, making sometimes familiar events fresh and arresting. Focusing both on the key moments in the war and on the wider reasons for it taking its course the hopes and delusions of the leaders whose decisions destroyed the lives of millions, and the great military clashes that decided the conflict he unfolds this story with scepticism, imagination and brilliance.
