Description
The War in the West: a New History Volume 2: the Allies Fight Back 1941-43 In the second instalment of his acclaimed history of the Second World War, James Holland examines the pivotal years of 1941-1943, a period marked by significant turning points in the conflict. This volume delves into the personal stories of individuals caught up in the war, as well as the behind-the-scenes machinery of war, revealing the human and logistical aspects that shaped the course of the conflict. Holland interweaves his account of the well-known events of the period with the personal stories of civilians, resistance members, sailors, and soldiers, providing a nuanced and compelling portrait of the war. From the battle fronts to the streets, fields, and factories of Britain, America, and Germany, this book paints a dramatic picture of the years when the tide began to turn.
