Why the Allies Won
Book • 1995
Richard Overy's book challenges the conventional wisdom that the Allied victory in World War II was inevitable.
He examines the decisive campaigns including the war at sea, battles on the eastern front, the air war, and the amphibious assault on Europe.
Overy also delves into the deeper factors affecting military success and failure, such as industrial strength, fighting ability, the quality of leadership, and the moral dimensions of the war.
He argues that the Allies' victory was not solely due to material strength or Germany's two-front war, but rather a complex interplay of these and other factors.
