A definitive account of World War II by America's preeminent
military historian World War II was the most lethal conflict in
human history. Never before had a war been fought on so many
diverse landscapes and in so many different ways, from rocket
attacks in London to jungle fighting in Burma to armor strikes in
Libya. The Second World Wars examines how combat unfolded in the
air, at sea, and on land to show how distinct conflicts among
disparate combatants coalesced into one interconnected global war.
Drawing on 3,000 years of military history, Victor Davis Hanson
argues that despite its novel industrial barbarity, neither the
war's origins nor its geography were unusual. Nor was its ultimate
outcome surprising. The Axis powers were well prepared to win
limited border conflicts, but once they blundered into global war,
they had no hope of victory. An authoritative new history of
astonishing breadth, The Second World Wars offers a stunning
reinterpretation of history's deadliest conflict.
