"The military editor and analyst of the New York Times evaluates 11 crucial battles of the Second World War, analysing what happened in each and why, as well as the larger results..... each Battle described was in fact, more than a Battle; each was so extensive in time and space and comprised so many separate episodes of struggle that each transcended the older meaning of the word "battle" and was, in essence a campaign. Yet each was an entity; many were a turning point; upon some, the scales of history rested." This book weighs more than 1 Kg.
