The author has taken a fresh look at the crucial battles which decided the outcome of WW II, beginning with the evacuation of Dunkirk in 1940 and reaching a climatic end with the final bloody reckoning between the Red Army and the Third Reich amongst the ruins of Berlin. The strategic significance of the major battles are examined, both in the elements that lead to victory or defeat, as well as the cost to both sides in combatant and civilian lives.
