Dr John Ray has taught history for forty years. In 1988 he retired from a large secondary school in Kent to undertake postgraduate research on Air Chief Marshall Sir Hugh Dowding and the Battle of Britain. His subsequent book The Battle of Britain: New Perspectives, published in 1994, sought to re-examine the complicated political and military background to that most important struggle. He is author of more than thirty earlier books, mostly for secondary school students preparing for examinations.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Reprint. As the events of 1939-1945 fade from living memory and the Second World War recedes into the history books, new generations of readers seek answers to old questions. How did there come to be such a war at all, so soon after the Great War? Were the participant nations seeking conflict, or did they have it thrust upon them? What actually happened in that war to cause the deaths of some fifty million men, women and children? In his new book John Ray first examines the social, political and military background of the inter-war years. He then traces the progress of the conflict across all campaigns and theatres of war. At each point he explains how the leaders took the course of action they did, for good or bad, and the consequent effects on the future conduct of the war. He makes very clear the distinction between planning for war, and the real thing; we see how often indecision, incidents and accidents unexpectedly come to win or lose a battle. This is history made real and exciting in a concise, fast-moving and always fascinating approach of particular value to newcomers to the subject. The Second World War shaped the second half of the twentieth century; our grasp of the world we now live in is incomplete without an understanding of how and why that war was conducted. This book explains the Second World War. Illustrated with B/W photographs. Crease on back cover. N° de réf. du vendeur 009417
