In the course of the twentieth century, no war looms as profoundly
transformative or as destructive as World War II. Its global scope
and human toll reveal the true face of modern, industrialized
warfare. Now, for the first time, we have a comprehensive,
single-volume account of how and why this global conflict evolved
as it did. A War To Be Won is a unique and powerful operational
history of the Second World War that tells the full story of battle
on land, on sea, and in the air. Williamson Murray and Allan R.
Millett analyze the operations and tactics that defined the conduct
of the war in both the European and Pacific Theaters. Moving
between the war room and the battlefield, we see how strategies
were crafted and revised, and how the multitudes of combat troops
struggled to discharge their orders. The authors present incisive
portraits of the military leaders, on both sides of the struggle,
demonstrating the ambiguities they faced, the opportunities they
took, and those they missed. Throughout, we see the relationship
between the actual operations of the war and their political and
moral implications. A War To Be Won is the culmination of decades
of research by two of America's premier military historians. It
avoids a celebratory view of the war but preserves a profound
respect for the problems the Allies faced and overcame as well as a
realistic assessment of the Axis accomplishments and failures. It
is the essential military history of World War II-from the
Sino-Japanese War in 1937 to the surrender of Japan in 1945-for
students, scholars, and general readers alike.
