Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. I really liked this book. I use it to further add books to my Wishlist. Dunnigan's mini-summaries of included books are loaded with details. I have several books by Dunnigan all of which I have enjoyed reading. Some other reviewers have provided less than glowing reviews of some of his books. I try to keep things in perspective so flaws noted are not ignored. Given his background and experiences, I suspect James Dunnigan might be a very interesting author to meet in person. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Unlike any conflict before or since, World War II was a truly worldwide war, with dozens of nations participating in significant battles in virtually every corner of the globe. In this definitive guide, military analyst James F. Dunnigan chooses fifty titles out of the many thousands of books published on the subject as being the most worthy of a place in an enthusiast's library. The books Dunnigan chooses offer powerful and moving journeys into the heart of battle and are accompanied by candid and controversial essays sure to spur discussion and investigation.

Patton was not the great strategic commander painted in the book. He was a barely controlled man who commanded - and commanded well - one of a dozen western armies. On the Soviet side army commanders were a dime a dozen, as they were on the German side.
Nothing on the Chinese part in the war except a book by a (highly competent) amateur historian (Tuchman - Stilwell and the American Experience in China).
Nothing on the Australian's administering the first land defeat on the Japs in Papua New Guinea, nothing on Bill Slim and the wonderful Fourteenth Army. In a Slim-Patton contest, Slim wins hands down, including for ability to take risks for the main chance.
Waste of money. ( )
