Reviews

Germany was not the invincible juggernaut, the Soviets were merely allies of continence because Hitler turned on them, and the shameful actions of appeasing governments in Britain and France all but guaranteed war. - New York Journal of Books The author is a well-established writer on World War II ... This new volume is like his previous work: detailed, well-researched and clearly written.
