From one of our finest military historians, a monumental work that
shows us at once the truly global reach of World War II and its
deeply personal consequences.
World War II involved tens of millions of soldiers and cost sixty
million livesùan average of twenty-seven thousand a day. For
thirty-five years, Max Hastings has researched and written about
different aspects of the war. Now, for the first time, he gives us
a magnificent, single-volume history of the entire war.
Through his strikingly detailed stories of everyday peopleùof
soldiers, sailors and airmen; British housewives and Indian
peasants; SS killers and the citizens of Leningrad, some of whom
resorted to cannibalism during the two-year siege; Japanese
suicide pilots and American carrier crews - Hastings provides a
singularly intimate portrait of the world at war. He
simultaneously traces the major developments - HitlerÆs refusal to
retreat from the Soviet Union until it was too late; StalinÆs
ruthlessness in using his greater population to wear down the
German army; ChurchillÆs leadership in the dark days of 1940 and
1941; RooseveltÆs steady hand before and after the United States
entered the war - and puts them in real human context.
Hastings also illuminates some of the darker and less explored
regions under the warÆs penumbra, including the conflict between
the Soviet Union and Finland, during which the Finns fiercely and
surprisingly resisted StalinÆs invading Red Army; and the Bengal
famine in 1943 and 1944, when at least one million people died in
what turned out to be, in NehruÆs words, - the final epitaph of
British rule - in India.
Remarkably informed and wide-ranging, Inferno is both elegantly
written and cogently argued. Above all, it is a new and essential
understanding of one of the greatest and bloodiest events of the
twentieth century.
