World War II reshaped the modern world through strategy, brutality, and courage on an unimaginable scale.
In The Storm of War, historian Andrew Roberts delivers a masterful single-volume history of the conflict, tracing the war from the beaches of Normandy to the deserts of North Africa, from the icy Russian front to the Pacific islands.
With striking clarity, Roberts reveals how the decisions of leaders like Hitler, Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin shaped the fate of millions. Alongside these towering figures, he gives voice to the soldiers, sailors, and civilians whose stories reflect both humanity’s finest heroism and darkest cruelty.
Meticulously researched and grippingly told, The Storm of War is an essential, vivid account of the global conflict that defined the twentieth century.
