Reviews

The volume is supported by helpful diagrams and maps and offers fascinating insights on a range of related topics. History the latest volume of Germany and the Second World War slices open the German war effort and examines the inner workings of war administration, economy, and manpower resources, 1942-1944/ ... every page is packed with a dense compilation of information and analysis ... a rigorous, academic analysis packed with information impossible to find elsewhere in English, and it also forms an integral part of an exceedingly important series of books about Germany's role in the world conflict. We can't recommend it to the casual reader, but it certainly belongs on the shelf of every serious historian of World War II as part of the ultimate autopsy of the German war effort. Stone & Stone
