It is essential to establish why and how the last great war was won. Richard Overy casts a brilliant light on the most important turning-point of the modern age.'A compelling analysis.skilful and chilling' The Economist 'Outstanding.Overy has written a masterpiece of analytical history, posing and answering one of the great questions of the century' Niall Ferguson, Sunday TimesThe Allied victory in 1945 though comprehensive was far from inevitable.
