Quatrième de couverture :
'John Keegan is at once the most readable and the most original of living military historians.' New York Times Book Review
Although 50 years have passed since the end of World War II, there has as yet been no definitive history of that conflict. Existing histories have raised as many questions as they answer: Did President Roosevelt have foreknowledge of the attack on Pearl Harbor? Could the Allies have invaded France before 1944?
Here John Keegan assesses the literature that has emerged from World War II - and the controversies that have arisen from that literature. He examines general histories and biographies, accounts of individual campaigns, and studies of espionage and resistance. This is the story of the ways in which the War has been refought by two generations of its chroniclers, as told by one of the greatest of them all.
'This slim volume contains great erudition and a fund of commonsense.' The Times
'An invaluable review of the literature and the continuing arguments... Anyone curious about the War needs to read Mr Keegan.' Spectator
