World War Two: A Short History
Autor Norman Stoneen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 feb 2014
'The best short primer on the war in twenty years'Andrew Roberts
Norman Stone's gripping book tells the narrative of the Second World War in as brief a compass as possible, making a sometimes familiar story utterly fresh and arresting. As with his highly acclaimedWorld War One: A Short History, there is a compelling sense of a terrible story unfolding, of a sceptical and humorous intelligence at work, and a wish to convey to an audience who may well have no memory of the conflict just how high the stakes were.
