Ian Kershaw's Fateful Choices: Ten Decisions that Changed the
World, 1940-41 offers a penetrating insight into a series of
momentous political decisions that shaped the course of the Second
World War. The hurricane of events that marked the opening of the
Second World War meant that anything could happen. For the
aggressors there was no limit to their ambitions; for their victims
a new Dark Age beckoned. Over the next few months their fates would
be determined. In Fateful Choices Ian Kershaw re-creates the ten
critical decisions taken between May 1940, when Britain chose not
to surrender, and December 1941, when Hitler decided to destroy
Europe's Jews, showing how these choices would recast the entire
course of history. 'Powerfully argued ... important ... this book
actually alters our perspective of the Second World War' Andrew
Roberts 'This fascinating, closely-argued book adds to our
understanding of a terrible war' Alan Massie 'A compelling
re-examination of the conflict ... Kershaw displays here those same
qualities of scholarly rigour, careful argument and sound judgement
that he brought to bear so successfully in his life of Hitler'
Richard Overy 'A splendidly lucid and impeccably argued exposition
of the greatest political decisions of the Second World War' Max
Hastings 'How fortunate that it is Ian Kershaw bringing his immense
knowledge and clarity of thought to the task ... brilliantly
explained ... an immensely wise book' Anthony Beevor Ian Kershaw
