This title addresses these and other riddles, revealing the ways in which the war and its legacy touch our lives.
"MrLukacs is one of the more incisive historians of the 20th century, and especially of the tangled events leading to World War II."-Joseph C. Goulden, Washington Times -- Joseph C. Goulden Washington Times "John Lukacs presents an original and complex analysis. The scholarship is thorough and impeccable, and the final product a highly nuanced discussion of major decisions and problems."--Stanley Payne, author of Franco and Hitler: Spain, Germany, and World War II -- Stanley Payne "Esteemed historian Lukacs ... reminds readers that when it comes to WWII history, sections remain to be written, and what has been written departs from historical truth in certain ways."-Booklist Booklist
John Lukacs is the author of some thirty books of history, including the acclaimed Five Days in London and Last Rites.
