Über diesen Titel

A magisterial, single volume history of the greatest conflict the world has ever known by our foremost military historian.

The Second World War began in August 1939 on the edge of Manchuria and ended there exactly six years later with the Soviet invasion of northern China. The war in Europe appeared completely divorced from the war in the Pacific and China, and yet events on opposite sides of the world had profound effects.

Using the most up to date scholarship and research, Beevor assembles the whole picture in a gripping narrative that extends from the North Atlantic to the South Pacific and from the snowbound steppe to the North African Desert.

Although filling the broadest canvas on a heroic scale, Beevor's The Second World War never loses sight of the fate of the ordinary soldiers and civilians whose lives were crushed by the titanic forces unleashed in this, the most terrible war in history.

Kritikerstimmen

His singular ability to make huge historical events accessible to a general audience recalls the golden age of British narrative history, whose giants include Gibbon, Macaulay and Carlyle (Boyd Tonkin)
Beevor can be credited with single-handedly transforming the reputation of military history (David Edgar)
The myriad pieces of this intricate kaleidoscope are pieced together with exemplary skill ... This is a splendid book, erudite, with an admirable clarity of thought and expression (Roger Moorhouse)
His accounts of the key moments in the Second World War have a sense of colour, drama and immediacy that few narrative historians can match (Dominic Sandbrook)
You feel yourself being carried along on the narrative flow, channelled this way and that through the pools and rapids by Beevor's expert helmanship (Patrick Bishop)
Beevor's book is a pleasure to read and an example of intelligent, lively historical writing at its best (Tony Barber)
This is as comprehensive and objective an account of the course of the war as we are likely to get, and the most humanly moving to date (John Gray)
A British historian of great distinction and range, who ... demonstrates his mastery of his sources (Gordon Craig)

Anthony Beevor did a great job telling the story of WWII from the perspective of politicians, generals, soldiers and civilians of the time.
Sean Barrett's narration is excellent with good pacing, great foreign phrases pronunciation and even changing the accent when quoting American or British politicians or generals.

Great overall WWII story

it is an exhaustive and comprehensive overview of one of the most cruel, complex and influential period of humanity. it is excellently written - but remains to be a detailed overview and summary. if you are looking for deeper analysis of certain aspects of WW2, you need to look for it somewhere else.

Excellent history of the Second World War

Almost 40 hours of listening, 40 hours which are very interesting, rich with facts, figures and feelings, but which are also terrible to listen to. There may be victors and defeated, but it turns out violence and brutality were rampant almost everywhere. Maybe it would have been redeeming to include some stories of brave, humane actions. The incredible number of crimes on every scale committed on all sides is almost too much to take.
Very well read by Sean Barrett.

Terrible, but interesting
