Within Western culture, World War Two continues to exercise an
extraordinary fascination for generations unborn when it took
place. The obvious explanation is that it was the greatest and most
terrible event in human history. Within the vast compass of the
struggle, some individuals scaled summits of courage and nobility,
while others plumbed depths of evil, in a fashion that compels the
awe of posterity. Among citizens of modern democracies to whom
serious hardship and collective peril are unknown, the tribulations
which hundreds of millions endured between 1939 and 1945 are almost
beyond comprehension. Hastings tells the story of the war in a
clear and compelling narrative, ranging across a vast canvas from
the agony of Poland in 1939 and the horrors of the Soviet front to
the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan in August 1945. This is a
book which shows vividly what war meant for individuals from allied
soldiers, sailors and airmen, to SS killers, to civilians caught up
in the war like British housewives who endured the Blitz and the
citizens of Leningrad who suffered through a siege of almost
unimaginable horror.
