Riassunto

This collection of writings taken from MILITARY HISTORY QUARTERLY gathers together 45 writers, some world-famous, some unknown, to give a brand new perspective on the Second World War. The reader can therefore enjoy Antony Beevor's work on Stalingrad, David Fraser on the battle for Normandy, and John Keegan's writing on the siege of Berlin between the same covers as the memoirs of an intelligence officer at El Alamein and a Kamikaze pilot who survived the Pacific War. Other writers include the novelist Caleb Carr, Alistair Horne, Stanley Weintraub, Victor Davis Hanson, David Glantz, and many more. The anthology covers the war in the west, on the Russian front, and in the Far East, and pursues themes as diverse as desert warfare, the submarine war, strategic bombing, prisoners of war, tactics and espionage.
