Description:
Andrew Roberts analyzes World War II on every front, asking whether the Axis [?] could have won with a different sequence of decisions and a different strategy. Were the German generals who blamed Hitler for everything after the war right, or were they merely using their former Führer as a scapegoat, now that they could criticize him with impunity? In researching this unique and powerful history, Roberts visits many of the major battlefields and theaters of war in Russia, France, Italy, Germany, and the Far East. He also brings together some important, never-before-published documents. A Hurricane of War offers illuminating perspectives on the key figures on both sides, casting their characters and decision-making processes in a whole new light. It also tells the stories of many little-known individuals whose experiences paint a picture of extraordinary courage and self-sacrifice, but also of the depravity and terrible cruelty of World War II. The war lasted 2,174 days, cost $1.5 trillion [?], and killed more than 50 million people. A Hurricane of War provides a poignant but dramatic account of the struggle that gripped the world between 1939 and 1945.
