Description
The Second World War was the final global conflict of the twentiethcentury. It involved more combatants, and a wider range of battlefieldterrain than any other conflict in history, from the frozen plains ofRussia to the baking Libyan desert, and from the atolls of the Pacificto the skies over Britain. In Great Battles of World War II, MichaelDudley has taken a fresh look at the crucial battles which decided theoutcome of the Second World War, beginning with the evacuation ofDunkirk in 1940, a feat that boosted the morale of a nation during itsdarkest hour, and reaching a climactic end with the final bloodyreckoning between the Red Army and the Third Reich amongst the ruins ofBerlin.
