explicable and immediate. As with his superb Five Days InLondon, he
shows howimportant Adolf Hitler'sone-man decisions were to
theexperiences of millions in the twentiethcentury. When the
Fuhrerunleashed Blitzkrieg onthe USSR on 21 June 1941, he said that
Operation Barbarossa would make the world hold its breath; you will
hold yours as Lukacs' narrative unrolls." Andrew Roberts --Andrew
