About this title

Synopsis

"Wilt writes . . . well and offers many sound perceptions." ―Choice

" . . . a stimulating book . . . a timely warning against overindulgence in hindsight in evaluating the great issues of the war . . . " ―Parameters

" . . . a significant new study . . . a clearly written, excellent book . . . " ―Airpower Journal

" . . . an impressive work of scholarship . . . " ―British Politics Group Newsletter

"Wilt's comparative approach permits us fresh perspectives on both sides of the war. Moreover, Wilt has chosen to compare two of the major rival belligerents at the most stimulating and interesting level at which such comparison might be made, the level of the summit of decision making―with the magnetic figures of Hitler and Churchill playing major roles in his narrative and analysis." ―Russell F. Weigley

"This is a masterful treatment of a complex subject and a must read book for anyone writing about the Second World War." ―The Historian

From the Back Cover

Alan F. Wilt looks at the strategic decision making in Germany and Great Britain from the top down, at Hitler and Churchill and their considerable influence on their countries' military decisions.
