Description:
The Second World War was the largest and most
appalling military conflagration in history. It killed millions of people. It
destroyed much of the old Europe. It altered the world balance of political and
economic power. Its consequences are incalculable and are everywhere with us
still. In his now classic book, The World at War, Mark Arnold-Forster
tells the story of the War in a simple, bold and highly readable way. He
illuminates each of the main theatres individually, so that the complex
development of the various military campaigns can be easily followed. Making
use of original documents as well as first-hand interviews, he has produced a
history which is both authoritative and intensely vivid.
