A landmark work of Second World War history, The Struggle for Europe presents a sweeping and authoritative account of the Allied campaign to liberate Western Europe from Nazi occupation between 1944 and 1945. Chester Wilmot, an acclaimed Australian war correspondent who witnessed many of the key events firsthand, chronicles the military, political, and strategic decisions that shaped the final years of the war — from the D-Day landings in Normandy to the fall of Berlin. The narrative argues compellingly that Allied political miscalculations, particularly those involving relations with the Soviet Union, allowed Stalin to extend his sphere of influence deep into Europe, sowing the seeds of the Cold War. Written with journalistic precision and strategic insight, the book remains one of the most important and enduring analyses of how the West won the war but may have lost the peace.
