The storm of war

The Storm of War is a meticulously researched and masterfully written history of World War II. Andrew Roberts examines the grand strategy and individual experiences of the war, highlighting the critical decisions and mistakes made by the Axis powers, particularly under Adolf Hitler's leadership.

The book covers the war's global scope, from the western front to North Africa, the Baltic, and the Far East, and includes tales of lesser-known individuals who exemplified courage, self-sacrifice, and the brutal realities of the war.

Roberts argues that the Axis powers' defeat was largely due to their own strategic blunders and ideological rigidity, contrasting this with the moral triumph of democratic forces.
