Description
The Hitler Years: Disaster 1940 - 1945 by Frank McDonough At the start of 1940, Germany was at the height of its power. By May 1945, it had suffered a disastrous defeat and Adolf Hitler's ambitions lay in ruins. This second volume of Professor Frank McDonough's narrative history explores the dramatic change in fortune for the Third Reich, challenging long-held accounts of the Holocaust and Germany's ultimate defeat. McDonough argues that Germany was never truly a superpower, but rather a middle-ranking nation that struggled against the combined forces of the Allies. A detailed and thought-provoking examination of one of the most pivotal periods in modern history, The Hitler Years: Disaster 1940 - 1945 offers a fresh perspective on this critical era. With clear and readable prose, McDonough brings to life the complex events and themes that shaped the final years of Nazi Germany.
