Description: A concise, short history of WWII, but written with the pace and penetration that comes from a great historian. Stone aims to tell the narrative of the war in as brief a compass as possible, making a sometimes familiar story fresh and arresting, and conveying to an audience who may have no memory of the conflict just how high the stakes were.
