Non-Fiction History
Over the past two decades, Antony Beevor has established
himself as one of the world's premier historians of WWII.
His multi-award winning books have included Stalingrad and
The Fall of Berlin 1945. Now, in his newest and most
ambitious book, he turns his focus to one of the bloodiest
and most tragic events of the twentieth century, the Second
World War. In this searing narrative that takes us from Hitler's
invasion of Poland on September 1st, 1939 to V-J day on
August 14th, 1945 and the war's aftermath, Beevor describes
the conflict and its global reach--one that included every
major power. The result is a dramatic and breathtaking
single-volume history that provides a remarkably intimate
account of the war that, more than any other, still commands
attention and an audience. Thrillingly written and brilliantly researched, Beevor's
grand and provocative account is destined to become the
definitive work on this complex, tragic, and endlessly
fascinating period in world history, and confirms once more
that he is a military historian of the first rank.
