Paperback. Condition: Good. "Overy's book is easily the best account of Europe's descent into.death and destruction." --Evening Standard (London) A brilliantly concise narrative of the days leading to the outbreak of history's greatest conflagration, 1939 takes readers hour by hour through the nail-biting decisions that determined the fate of millions. Richard Overy, a leading historian of the period, masterfully recreates the jockeying for advantage that set Europe's greatest powers on a collision course. Would Stalin join Hitler in a bid to divide Poland and flout the West? Would Britain and France succeed in forcing Germany to reason? And how far would a defiant Poland push its claim to exist? In the summer of 1939, the course of events was anything but assured, as this exceptionally absorbing book drives home.…

Hardback. Condition: Fair. A penetrating and compassionate book on the most gigantic military struggle in world history.--The New York Times Book Review An extraordinary tale. Overy's engrossing book provides extensive details of teh slaughter, brutality, bitterness and destruction on the massive front from the White Sea to the flank of Asia.--Chicago Tribune The Russian war effort to defeat invading Axis powers, an effort that assembled the largest military force in recorded history and that cost the lives of more than 25 million Soviet soldiers and civilians, was the decisive factor for securing an Allied victory. Now with access to the wealth of film archives and interview material from Russia used to produce the ten-hour television documentary Russia's War, Richard Overy tackles the many persuasive questions surrounding this conflict.

Hardback. Condition: Good. A master historian explores the pivotal battle in the skies of England and its lasting significance. June 1940: With France conquered and British forces depleted, Hitler's plan was to establish German control of the skies over southern England, thereby forcing Britain to the peace table or preparing the way for Operation Sealion, the invasion of England. Waged through the summer and fall of 1940, the Battle of Britain was a deadly war of attrition fought at 30,000 feet. It culminated in the Blitz, the day and night bombing of British cities, especially London, when the enduring morale of the populace and the effective response of Fighter Command convinced the German leadership that there would be no knockout blow. In his brilliant, concise account, Richard Overy shrewdly analyzes every element of the battle on both sides, from the men and machines who fought and the tactics they employed to the leaders and their strategies. With great insight he clarifies the significance of this pivotal moment for Britain and the world.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The book explores the reasons why the Second World War broke out in September 1939 and not sooner, and why a European war expanded into world war by 1941. The war has usually been seen simply as Hitler's war and yet the wider conflict that broke out when Germany invaded Poland was not the war that Hitler wanted. He had hoped for a short war against Poland; instead, Britain and France declared war on Germany. Richard Overy argues that any explanation of the outbreak of hostilities must therefore be multi-national and he shows how the war's origins are to be found in the basic instability of the international system that was brought about by the decline of the old empires of Britain and France and the rise of ambitious new powers, Italy, Germany and Japan, keen to build new empires of their own.…
