'James Holland is the best of the new generation of WW2 historians. His epic new venture convincingly challenges many received ideas about the war and draws some exciting new conclusions. (Sebastian Faulks) Are you ready for the truth about World War Two? So much has been written about the monumental conflict that was the Second World War but never like this. Drawing on new research from around the world, acclaimed historian James Holland presents an entirely fresh look at the war that changed the world. From the horror of the Blitzkrieg and Dunkirk to the heroism of the Battle of Britain and the colossal folly that was Operation Barbarossa, Holland relates the dramatic story of the war from all sides like never before, weaving together the experiences of the people who fought, planned, plotted, or just lived through the momentous events of 1939 to 1941. By challenging the conventional wisdom at every step, he has created a genuinely thrilling and epic narrative which redefines and enhances our understanding of one of the most significant cataclysms in history.
