Parker, Struggle For Suvival - The History Of The Second World War

Abstract

Over fifty years have passed since Hitler sent his legions into Poland, thus initiating a conflict that would ultimately consume somewhere between forty and sixty million lives. Recently a number of authors, including John Keegan, Martin Gilbert, John Ellis, and H. P. Wilmott, have tried to grasp the essence of that event in their one-volume histories of World War II. The British historian R. A. C. Parker now joins that group, and he does so with success.
