Decided to revisit the reprint of this book from my teen years. Quick overview of WWII, most glaring were some of the simple mistakes in the photo captions. Its a good coffee table book, fairly well skewed to the Allied view of things. ( ) Sulzberger, writes as a journalist who participated in WWII. Concentrates a remarkable presentation of the facts of the hostilities, as it burst across the globe. WWII lasted six years, from the invasion of Poland by Germany and Soviet Union, to proceedings attended on the battleship Missouri, in Tokyo Bay, on September 2, 1945. This War put 70 million people in uniforms, most of whom had no idea how the War started, who was to blame, or what the consequences would be. Sulzberger does claim that "There was never much doubt about what we were fighting for or whether victory was worth the price". From the Allied point of view, the perception was that "civilization" was at stake. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Seamlessly incorporating a significant amount of new text and captions into the original text by Pulitzer Prize'winning journalist C. L. Sulzberger, Ambrose has produced a comprehensive and riveting account of the six-year global conflict that transformed world politics and shaped the course of modern history.Here are the personalities and strategies of Churchill, Roosevelt, Hitler, and Stalin brought vividly to life; the military tactics of Eisenhower, Rommel, and Patton; battles from El Alamein to D-Day to Guadalcanal; completely new chapters on the atrocities of the Holocaust and the secret war of espionage and weaponry, much of it from top-secret sources made available since the end of the Cold War.Hundreds of haunting images from renowned war photographers on the line of battle as well as new color maps illustrate Ambrose's masterful text; together they brilliantly evoke in this definitive single volume the courage, commitment, military genius, and true horror of war. This new edition will endure as a major contribution to World War II scholarship from one of the most highly regarded and widely read historians of our time.
