Product details
Beginning with the German invasion of Poland and concluding with the Japanese surrender, this majestic overview of WW II concentrates on the tactical decisions made by Allied and Axis leaders and the interrelationship among the various theaters. Weinberg depicts the struggle to control the oceans, the effort to halt the German and Japanese advances and the development of post-war plans which influenced the course of battle. In his well-documented study, Weinberg shows the linkage between grand strategy and diplomacy, highlights intelligence gathering and tactics. He describes how the conflict affected the economies and morale of the countries involved and offers a revised estimate of deaths and casualties suffered by the belligerents.
