The Second World War and its Aftermath

Military historian Len Deighton called The Second World War and its Aftermath ‘a masterpiece’. From the major campaigns in the East and West – the Blitzkrieg, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour and America’s entry into the fray – to detailed portraits of the five ‘War Lords’ – Mussolini, Hitler, Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt – who governed the course of the conflict, Taylor’s account is always eye-opening.
