The storm of war : a new history of the Second World… di Andrew Roberts

Andrew Roberts's acclaimed new history has been hailed as the finest single-volume account of this epic conflict. From the western front to North Africa, from Baltic to the Far Ear, he tells the story of the war - the grand strategy and the individual experience, the brutality and the heroism - as never before. Meticulously researched and masterfully written, The storm of War illuminates the war's principal at ors, revealing how they decision shaped the course of the conflict. Along the way, Roberts presents tales of the many lesser-know individuals whose experiences from a panoply of the courage and self-sacrifice, as well as the depravity and cruelty, of the Second World War.

Presenta inoltre le storie di coraggio, sacrifcio e di crudeltà di attori meno noti.
