Addresses head-on the central issue of invasion timing in the Allied European strategy of World War II
Second Front Now--1943 addresses head-on the central issue of invasion timing in the Allied European strategy of World War II. The author reconstructs and compares the actual military situations of the several combatants in a detailed and ambitious manner. Drawing on a vast and growing body of American, British, and German memoirs and secondary sources, as well as on newly available archival materials in Washington and London, the author constructs a persuasive case for the feasibility of invasion in 1943.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Addresses head-on the central issue of invasion timing in the Allied European strategy of World War IIIn Second Front Now - 1943: An Opportunity Delayed, military historian Walter S. Dunn offers a sharply argued and meticulously researched reassessment of one of the most consequential strategic debates of World War II: the decision not to launch a full-scale Allied invasion of Western Europe in 1943. At a time when Nazi Germany was stretched across multiple fronts and the Soviet Union bore the brunt of the fighting in the East, the question of when--and where--to open a Second Front in Europe became a defining issue among Allied leaders.Dunn explores the complex interplay of military planning, political caution, logistical constraints, and inter-Allied tensions that led Britain and the United States to postpone a cross-Channel invasion. Drawing from official records, wartime correspondence, and operational analyses, he reconstructs the strategic environment of 1943 and challenges the conventional wisdom that the delay was inevitable--or even prudent. Instead, Dunn presents a compelling case that an earlier invasion may have been both feasible and decisive, potentially shortening the war and altering the balance of postwar power.With clarity and analytical rigor, the book examines the competing priorities of Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin, the influence of Mediterranean operations, and the evolving capabilities of Allied forces. It also considers the broader implications of the delay, including its impact on Soviet-Western relations and the shaping of the Cold War order that followed.Blending narrative accessibility with scholarly depth, Second Front Now - 1943 is essential reading for students, historians, and anyone interested in the strategic decisions that defined the Allied path to victory. Dunn invites readers to reconsider a pivotal 'missed moment' in history--and to reflect on how differently the war, and the world, might have unfolded. 328 pp. Englisch.
