Great Battles of World War II: How the Allies Defeated the Axis Powers

by Michael Dudley

The Second World War was the final global conflict of the twentieth century. It involved more combatants, and a wider range of battlefield terrain than any other conflict in history, from the frozen plains of Russia to the baking Libyan desert, and from the atolls of the Pacific to the skies over Britain.

In Great Battles of World War II, Michael Dudley has taken a fresh look at the crucial battles which decided the outcome of the Second World War, beginning with the evacuation of Dunkirk in 1940, a feat that boosted the morale of a nation during its darkest hour, and reaching a climactic end with the final bloody reckoning between the Red Army and the Third Reich amongst the ruins of Berlin.

Nothing new and some old errors reinforced such as massed Polish attacks with lance armed cavalry attacking tanks, the major attack by the French in 1940 but lost a few hundred troops?
Here we have someone who repeats what he has read and fails to understand just what he copied.

Poorly written, included conspiracy theories (such as the theory that Churchill knew Pearl Harbour was coming) as if it is fact. More than that it is incredibly dry, and I read a decent amount of nonfiction. Hence why it took me 2 months to finish a 236 page book.
