THE STORM OF WAR: A NEW HISTORY OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR

Book ID/图书代码： 02630509B30941

English Summary/英文概要： The Second World War lasted for 2,174 days and claimed the lives of over 50 million people. Why did it take the course that it did? Why did the Axis lose? And could they, with a different strategy, have won?

Ranging from the Western front to North Africa, from the Baltic to the Far East, he brings the story of the war - and those who fought it - into focus as never before.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本書由英國最卓越的資深媒體人與歷史學家Andrew Roberts，真實還原了第二次世界大戰的歷史原貌。
從1939年格萊維茨事件（1939年8月31日，格萊維茨事件爆發。當日，一支身穿波蘭軍裝的德國党衛軍冒充波軍，襲擊了德國邊境的格萊維茨電臺，並發表對德國的侮辱性講話。隨後，全德各電臺都廣播了“德國遭到了波蘭突然襲擊”的消息，希特勒以此為藉口，簽署入侵波蘭的第一號作戰命令，並於次日發動了對波蘭的入侵。）到長崎和廣島原子彈事件。
作者真實還原描繪出主要戰場: 俄羅斯、法國、義大利、德國和遠東戰時的各國立場，分析了主軸戰略的演變，遠東衝突和希特勒失敗的原因。對於紀念二戰70周年的作品，使讀者更清楚地瞭解每個人物鮮明的性格。(RY & CL)
