The Second World War lasted for 2,174 days and claimed the lives of over 50 million people. Why did it take the course that it did? Why did the Axis lose? And could they, with a different strategy, have won? Ranging from the Western front to North Africa, from the Baltic to the Far East, he brings the story of the war - and those who fought it - into focus as never before.

This, simply, is the best one-volume history of the Second World War currently available'\u003cbr\u003e Laurence Rees 'Magnificent ...
