El contraataque aliado

By mid-1941, Nazi Germany was at the height of its military successes. After quick and forceful victories in Europe, it had defeated France and engulfed half the continent. Britain had avoided the invasion thanks to the efforts of the RAF fighters, but the Nazi machine seemed unstoppable. James Holland, the leading exponent of the new generation of historians reinterpreting World War II, has spent more than a decade exploring archives and memoirs and has had access to official records that had not been studied until now. In addition, he has visited countless battlefields and interviewed survivors, of whom he has obtained unpublished testimonies. Thanks to his exhaustive research, Holland poses a new narrative of World War II in the West. In this second installment, which covers the period 1941-1943, we witness the counterattack of the Allies, who regain the initiative of the war. Always surprising, Holland argues that the key was not in Russia, as is often believed, but in the Atlantic, and that North Africa was by no means a secondary theater of operations. This is, in truth, a history of World War II as you have never read.
