    Description

    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.

    Read by Sean Barrett.

    Thorough, horrifying and thought-provoking

    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.

    One of the best histories of the War ever written

    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.

    Superb and enthralling - highly recommended.

    Where does The Second World War, Part One: The Phoney War to Stalingrad rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    Excellent Audible history - up there with the rude boys.

    Have you listened to any of Sean Barrett’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    The narrator is excellent. This is a long listen, so the narration is especially important and Sean Barrett's clarity, diction and expression are first class.

    Any additional comments?

    The mix of grand strategic overview mixed with the words of soldiers and civilians make this brilliantly written history extremely engrossing. I'm eagerly looking forward to Part 2.

    This will become the seminal work on WWII

    Truly global in its scope, any serious study of the war will necessarily include a careful reading of this work.

    Expected more from Antony Beevor

    Great run over the second world war. But nothing new for those who have studied it already. Best on the Western campaigns and less in-depth on the complex Japanese/Chinese conflict. Hoped that Antony Beevor with his detailed knowledge would have tried to maintain an analytical overview of the war. However, instead he leads us through battle to battle and campaign to campaign in his usual entertaining style with lots of specific stories to bring the scenes alive. Maybe I was expecting too much.

    Incredible and expansive.

    The second world war, what a huge subject and yet Mr Beever succeeds in every way in interweaving battlefield history with stories of the main decision makers, the ordinary soldiers, and the every day people caught up in this momentous, earth shaking apocalypse.
    This is way more than just a story of a war, it should be required reading for all high school students in the hope that future generations will never see the like of it again.
    Take a bow Mr Beever, you have made this appalling, complex event that saw the death of 60 million people, totally readable and accessible to all
    We will never learn from history if it is sanitised

    Outstanding history, variable performance

    Beevor’s histories are outstanding examples of deep research, a clear eyed understanding of politics and outstanding storytelling. This history of WW2 is among his best works.

    The only real issue here is Sean Barrett‘s narration, which is at its best when he simply delivers the prose, and at its worst as he delivers an array of accents, and impressions including Churchill, Roosevelt and Hitler. It’s a minor irritation but over an audiobook that exceeds 35 hours it becomes grating and unnecessary.

    That said, the power of the story overcomes minor stylistic audio book annoyances. Highly recommended.

    I especially liked the way things were put into more personal perspective, and also that it was very interesting and easy to follow.

    A compact, yet satisfying, history of the war

    A great listen for Causal history enthusiasts. The writer did a fantastic job of cramming so much complicated history in this book, and he did it in an engaging and easy to follow manor.

    Great overall WWII story

    Anthony Beevor did a great job telling the story of WWII from the perspective of politicians, generals, soldiers and civilians of the time.
    Sean Barrett's narration is excellent with good pacing, great foreign phrases pronunciation and even changing the accent when quoting American or British politicians or generals.
