Turning the Tide: Decisive Battles of the Second World War (Arcturus Military History S.) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The Second World War was the final global conflict of the twentieth century. It involved more combatants, and a wider range of battlefield terrain than any other conflict in history, from the frozen plains of Russia to the Libyan desert, and from the depths of the Atlantic to the skies over Britain. Turning the Tide examines the progress of the war, from the British evacuation of Dunkirk, an operation unparalleled in history, to the final battle amid the ruins of Berlin. Types of battle considered include the airborne assault of Crete, the amphibious assault on Iwo Jima, armoured warfare at The Battle of the Bulge, the aerial combat of the Battle of Britain, and the battles for the two cities of Stalingrad and Berlin.

Synopsis
Arcturus Military Classics discuss the strategies, tactics and weapons of the two World Wars, and vividly bring to life how these were employed on the battlefields of Europe, North Africa and Russia, through detailed narrative of the crucial battles. Although never losing sight of the bigger picture, the individual solider is never ignored, bringing a human dimension to the impersonal face of war. This volume examines the progress of a conflict involving more combatants across a wider range of battlefields than any other in history, from the evacuation of Dunkirk to the final battle amid the ruins of Berlin.

The Second World War was the final global conflict of the twentieth century. It involved more combatants, and a wider range of battlefield terrain than any other conflict in history, from the frozen plains of Russia to the baking Libyan desert, and from the atolls of the Pacific to the skies over Britain. In Turning the Tide, Nigel Cawthorne has taken a fresh look at the crucial battles which decided the outcome of the Second World War, beginning with the evacuation of Dunkirk in 1940, a feat that boosted the morale of a nation during its darkest hour, and reaching a climactic end with the final bloody reckoning between the Red Army and the Third Reich amongst the ruins of Berlin.
