A compelling history of Blitzkrieg: the 'lightning war' by which
Hitler and his generals overwhelmed the Allied armies in Western
Europe. 'Blitzkrieg' begins with a chilling portrait of Hitler's
rise to power in pre-war Germany, setting the stage for the
outbreak of the Second World War and his conquests of Poland and
Norway. This riveting history sets out clearly the tactical
thinking behind Blitzkrieg and focuses an expert's eye on the
materiel - pre-eminently the Panzer tank - that made it possible.
Concluding with a compelling account of the campaigns that drove
the German armies through the Low Countries and into France,
Deighton reveals the Fuhrer's 'fatal flaw', which made possible the
evacuation of Allied forces from Dunkirk. 'Blitzkrieg' is the story
of Hitler's triumph and Europe's darkest hour. Few writers have
understood it as well as Deighton - an ex-RAF pilot - and perhaps
none has been able to describe it so tellingly.
