While many of the participants were the same as the First World War, this conflict was far more than a re-match of 1914-1918.
Robin Havers' concise guide shows the Second World War was even more destructive than the first and the added ideological element meant that this war was far crueller. This book details the first four years of the war in Europe. It discusses how and why Hitler's resurgent Germany plunged into war, and examines the German successes against Poland, France and the Low Countries.
Dr Robin Havers is President of the George C. Marshall Foundation in Lexington, Virginia. Prior to that he served as Director of National Churchill Museum in Fulton, Missouri and as Senior Lecturer in War Studies at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. A former Fulbright Visiting Professor at Westminster College, Missouri, he is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society and of the Royal Society for the Arts.
