Harrowing stories of Auschwitz, Pearl Harbor, and D-Day continue to live on, but this unbridled look at The Greatest Battles of World War II explores the lesser-known monstrosities unlike other World War II books.
WWII did more than just change the fate of world history—in just six years, every corner of the globe became involved in some of the most violent crimes against humanity to ever occur.
From the Battle of Stalingrad to the Battle of Midway, each of the World War 2 battles directly influenced the trajectory of the war and the world as we know it.
The strength of every country’s military, intelligence, and political powers were put to the test in a war that gruesomely claimed an estimated 60 million lives, including casualties.
Whether you have a great fascination for history, or you’re just looking to uncover new facts, The Greatest Battles of World War II paints a picture of the key battles of World War 2 and the impact of each on the course of the war and future of global affairs.
Despite the relatively short war, there are mountains of heinous yet hugely impactful events that took place—battles to war crimes alike.
You may already know about the evils of concentration camps and terrible murders of innocent people. Now, it’s time to take a look at what the history books may not have taught you.
Inside The Greatest Battles of World War II, you will discover:
- every major event and battle from the invasion of Poland and Dunkirk to Operation Overlord and the fateful day of June 6, 1944, when Nazi efforts all came crashing down.
- the intricately planned military and intelligence efforts on the part of the US and its allies, which were key to the victory and end of the war.
- what the fate of the war might have been if these battles had gone differently, and how even the minutest details enabled the takedown of Hitler and the Nazi Party.

…plus key facts of every battle and military move for a well-rounded WWII education without the distracting and unnecessary details.

I am a sucker for these types of books. I love the history of it all, there are so many points of interest over this whole topic. Gosh if they taught it like this when I was in school we would all have been riveted and I would have done better. The book is so well written, is well researched and clearly gives key points and events to explain how it lead to how it did. Absolutely loved it. Highly recommend.
