Inferno is a gripping history of the world wars told through twelve battles that shaped the fate of the 20th century.
From Verdun and the Somme to the Battle of Britain, Stalingrad, D-Day and the fall of Berlin, this is war at full intensity: the clashes that shattered armies, toppled regimes and redrew the map of the world. Written by the team behind the hit platform Battle Guide, Inferno combines expert analysis with vivid storytelling, plunging readers into the chaos of the frontline and the high-stakes decisions that changed history.
Packed with drama, insight, and unforgettable moments of courage, catastrophe and command, this is an urgent, immersive account of twelve battles whose shockwaves still shape our world.
