The Second World War is the nightmare that sits at the 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.
