āGripping. . . . splendid history. A brilliantly clear and accessible account of the war in all its theaters. Robertsās prose is unerringly precise and strikingly vivid. It is hard to imagine a better-told military history of World War II.ā āNew York Times Book Review
Andrew Roberts's acclaimed new history has been hailed as the finest single-volume account of this epic conflict. From the western front to North Africa, from the Baltic to the Far East, he tells the story of the warāthe grand strategy and the individual experience, the brutality and the heroismāas never before.
Meticulously researched and masterfully written, The Storm of War illuminates the war's principal actors, revealing how their decisions shaped the course of the conflict. Along the way, Roberts presents tales of the many lesser-known individuals whose experiences form a panoply of the courage and self-sacrifice, as well as the depravity and cruelty, of the Second World War.
