A World in Flames - A Short History of the Second World War in Europe and Asia 1939-1945

This book is clear, crisp and jargon-free. It is presented as an analytical narrative, and presupposes no previous knowledge of the events it surveys. It deals with the war in Asia and the Pacific as well as the European arena. It combines interpretative authority with up-to-date scholarship and a companionable writing style. And it tells the story richly but concisely, within the covers of a single manageable volume.
