History Of The Second World War

History Of The Second World War by Hart, B. H. Liddell. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780306809125.

History of the Second World War, B. H. Liddell Harts last work as well as his magnum opus, embodies the fruits of twenty years of research and a lifetime of thinking on war. It abounds with controversial judgments, including provocative assertions about the true causes behind Frances defeat in 1940, Hitlers failed invasion of Russia, and Japans stunning victory at Pearl Harbor; the effectiveness of the Allies strategic bombing of Germany; the questionable necessity of detonating atom bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki; and much more. This monumental history is both a crowning achievement and a final summation by one of the greatest military thinkers of the twentieth century.
