Description
All Hell Let Loose: The World at War 1939-45 by Max Hastings This comprehensive history of World War II focuses on the human experience of the conflict, exploring the varied and often devastating impact on individuals and communities across the globe. Hastings's 35 years of research shed light on the Russian front, where nearly 90% of German soldiers who perished met their fate, and the strategic importance of the Royal Navy and US Navy in the Allied victory. The book spans a vast canvas, from the Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939 to the 1943 Bengal famine, in which millions died under British rule. Hastings offers vivid descriptions of the tragedies and triumphs of ordinary people, as well as the legendary RAF raid on the Ruhr dams and the horrors of Arctic convoys. This is a detailed and nuanced account of one of the most significant conflicts of the 20th century.
