Fateful choices: ten decisions that changed the world, 1940-41 di ian kershaw offre un'intuizione penetrante su una serie di decisioni politiche epocali che hanno plasmato il corso della seconda guerra mondiale. L'uragano di eventi che ha segnato l'inizio della seconda guerra mondiale ha fatto sì che tutto potesse accadere. Per gli aggressori non c'era limite alle loro ambizioni; per le loro vittime si profilava una nuova era oscura. Nei mesi successivi il loro destino sarebbe stato determinato. In fateful choices ian kershaw ricrea le dieci decisioni critiche prese tra il maggio 1940, quando la gran bretagna scelse di non arrendersi, e il dicembre 1941, quando hitler decise di distruggere gli ebrei d'europa, mostrando come queste scelte avrebbero rimodellato l'intero corso della storia.

Questo libro modifica effettivamente la nostra prospettiva sulla seconda guerra mondiale" andrew roberts "questo libro affascinante e attentamente argomentato aumenta la nostra comprensione di una guerra terribile" alan massie "un avvincente riesame del conflitto.. Kershaw mostra qui le stesse qualità di rigore accademico, argomentazione attenta e sano giudizio che ha applicato con tanto successo nella sua vita su hitler" richard overy "un'esposizione splendidamente lucida e impeccabilmente argomentata delle più grandi decisioni politiche della seconda guerra mondiale" max hastings "quanto è fortunato che sia ian kershaw a portare la sua immensa conoscenza e chiarezza di pensiero al compito..

Ian Kershaw's Fateful Choices: Ten Decisions that Changed the World, 1940-41 offers a penetrating insight into a series of momentous political decisions that shaped the course of the Second World War. The hurricane of events that marked the opening of the Second World War meant that anything could happen. For the aggressors there was no limit to their ambitions; for their victims a new Dark Age beckoned. Over the next few months their fates would be determined.
