À propos de cette écoute

A magisterial, single volume history of the greatest conflict the world has ever known by our foremost military historian.

The Second World War began in August 1939 on the edge of Manchuria and ended there exactly six years later with the Soviet invasion of northern China. The war in Europe appeared completely divorced from the war in the Pacific and China, and yet events on opposite sides of the world had profound effects.

Using the most up to date scholarship and research, Beevor assembles the whole picture in a gripping narrative that extends from the North Atlantic to the South Pacific and from the snowbound steppe to the North African Desert.

Although filling the broadest canvas on a heroic scale, Beevor's The Second World War never loses sight of the fate of the ordinary soldiers and civilians whose lives were crushed by the titanic forces unleashed in this, the most terrible war in history.

    His singular ability to make huge historical events accessible to a general audience recalls the golden age of British narrative history, whose giants include Gibbon, Macaulay and Carlyle (Boyd Tonkin)
    Beevor can be credited with single-handedly transforming the reputation of military history (David Edgar)
    The myriad pieces of this intricate kaleidoscope are pieced together with exemplary skill ... This is a splendid book, erudite, with an admirable clarity of thought and expression (Roger Moorhouse)
    His accounts of the key moments in the Second World War have a sense of colour, drama and immediacy that few narrative historians can match (Dominic Sandbrook)
    You feel yourself being carried along on the narrative flow, channelled this way and that through the pools and rapids by Beevor's expert helmanship (Patrick Bishop)
    Beevor's book is a pleasure to read and an example of intelligent, lively historical writing at its best (Tony Barber)
    This is as comprehensive and objective an account of the course of the war as we are likely to get, and the most humanly moving to date (John Gray)
    A British historian of great distinction and range, who ... demonstrates his mastery of his sources (Gordon Craig)

    An excellent, thoroughly informative and detailed exploration of the conflict, with particular appeal to western readers, unaware of many of the details of the war in China covered at length in this complete history.

    One of the best histories of the War ever written

    This is an epic and detailed account of the horrifying events of the Second World War. I listened to it over a comparatively long period of time in order to let the facts sink in and to reflect on why we don’t appear to have learned more in the modern world. Wonderfully narrated by Sean Barrett. I highly recommend.

    Thorough, horrifying and thought-provoking
