Review
"The best book of its kind.[It is] a crisp professional critique of the strategic concepts and tactical methods of all the contending forces. Liddell Hart writes with no national bias, and is as critical of British -- and Allied -- performance as of the enemy's".-- The New Yorker

The History of the Second World War
Seller: Bookbot, Prague, Czech Republic
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Risse. History of the Second World War, B.H. Liddell Hart's last work as well as his magnum opus, embodies the fruits of 20 years of research & a lifetime of thinking on war. It abounds with controversial judgments, including provocative assertions about the true causes behind France's defeat in 1940, Hitler's failed invasion of Russia & Japan's stunning victory at Pearl Harbor; the effectiveness of the Allies' strategic bombing of Germany; the questionable necessity of detonating atom bombs over Hiroshima & Nagasaki; & much more. This monumental history is both a crowning achievement & a final summation by one of the greatest military thinkers of the 20th century. Seller Inventory # 41af6c28-a1bf-467e-8f90-df9fb3ceabec
