Great Battles of World War II has the subtitle Major Operations that Changed the Course of the War and is a superbly illustrated reference book focussing on 26 major confrontations that shaped the course of that massive conflict. As well as depicting the key battles, David Miller analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the opposing forces and the reasons for defeat or victory. One hundred and fifty contemporary photographs, battle maps and the records of the participants help to build up the full picture of the face of battle. All fronts of the war are covered and the crucial turning points in the war at sea, in the air and on land are detailed and combine to make a memorable and lasting impression of the sheer scale of the conflict. From the hunt for the Bismarck and blitzkrieg in France to the destruction of German ambitions at Stalingrad and the meticulously planned D-Day landings, this is the full story of a world at war. David Miller, a former officer in the armed forces, is a respected defence historian and analyst who has written numerous books on warfare and weapons including A Century of War. He contributes to international journals and is the Editor of Jane's Major Surface Warships.
