The Lightning Warfare that changed history foreverIf Hitler had
failed in his invasion of Western Europe in 1940 he could well have
been assassinated by a group of his senior officers. But he
decisively defeated the combined efforts of the British, French,
Dutch and Belgian armies in a matter of days. The technique
employed was known as Blitzkrieg or Lightning War. Nothing would be
the same again. Although strands were clearly apparent by 1918, it
was perfected through the interwar years before being deployed with
terrifying effect by the Nazis at the outbreak of the Second World
War. Eventually, other combatants would employ similar methods and
the tide would turn. As well as discussing the developing nature of
tactics, fighting vehicles and aircraft from 1918 onwards, the
author examines the potent workings of Blitzkrieg in-depth,
describing not only its obvious triumphs but also its fatal flaws.
This is explosive military history from bestseller Bryan Perrett,
perfect for readers of Antony Beevor or Damien Lewis.
