Sub-titled 'The Captivating Story of the Years that Ended the War'. The end is in sight but the fight is long: the epic and terrifying conclusion to the greatest conflict in history. Going into 1944, the Allies knew the tide was turning in their favour. But they still faced a monumental task to get to victory. From the beaches of Normandy on D-Day to those of the Pacific stormed by American marines, from the air drops at Arnhem and the Battle of the Bulge to the final dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, from the sacking of Berlin to the delicate peace that followed, this is a gripping and impeccably researched account of two years that forever changed the world. Filled with both the grand sweep of history, and small, unforgettable details and stories of ordinary soldiers, this is military writing of the very highest calibre. A companion to Ten Thousand Eyes (code 98073). For fans of Saul David. 369 page paperback.
