A magisterial, single-volume history of World War 2, by our foremost military historian. Although filling the broadest canvas, it never loses sight of the fate of the ordinary soldiers and civilians whose lives were affected by the most terrible war in history. 'Nobody knows better than Beevor how to translate the dry stuff of military history into human drama of the most vivid and moving kind' Max Hastings, Sunday Times

  • The Second World War / Review / Scotsman / Tuesday / 10 Jul 2012

    This is the place to begin if you need to get your knowledge of the war in order. Beevor is not afraid to quote the familiar when it is important or to let his favourite voices have their say, but he also provides plenty of fresh insights for those who kid themselves that they know the story already. › Read full review
