In this compelling study Max Hastings addresses the big human and military questions. Why did the Allies not win the war in 1944, when they were vastly stronger than the Germans? Why did the Russians produce the best generals? What was it like to fight the British, American, German and Soviet armies?
Armageddon embraces the fates of more than a hundred million people, from the tragic teenage fanatics who died in the ruins of Hitler's Reich to the British 'Tommies' who simply yearned to finish a painful job and go home. Few books on the Second World War have so vividly brought together the story of the battlefields, east and west, with the decisions of the generals and the impact of great events upon ordinary soldiers and civilians.

Narrators: PLEASE stop trying to imitate Churchill. What you're actually doing is a poor imitation of a poor imitation. The standard "Churchill" voice. Really annoying when I can't listen to a single damned book about WW2 without the narrator talking in the voice he THINKS is Churchill's }:/

Ytterst välskriven. Ger dock endast en övergripande bild.

Det blir för mycket med alla varianter på röster. Framförallt då många härmas med att låta efterbliven.

Ett ambitiöst arbete för att blottlägga krigets kaos och lidande.
