Why did the Axis lose the Second World War? Examining the Second World War on every front, Dr. Andrew Roberts asks whether, with a different decision-making process and a different strategy, the Axis might even have won.
Were those German generals who blamed everything on Hitler after the war correct, or were they merely scapegoating their former Führer once they could criticize him with impunity? That war lasted for 2,174 days, cost $1.5 trillion and claimed the lives of over 50 million people. Why did it take the course that it did? The Storm of War gives a succinct but dramatic account of the struggle that engulfed the world between 1939 and 1945 and, at the last, a convincing answer to that question.
Dr Andrew Roberts, a writer in residence, has written or edited twelve books, as well as appearing regularly on British and American television and radio. He writes for The Sunday Telegraph, reviewing history books and biography for that newspaper as well as The Spectator, Literary Review, Mail on Sunday and Wall Street Journal.
