In the second volume of his acclaimed new history of the Second World War, James Holland examines the momentous turning points of 1941-1943: Hitler's invasion of Russia; America's entry into the conflict; the devastating Thousand Bomber Raids over Germany; the long struggle in the deserts of North Africa; and the defeat of the U-boats in the crucial Battle of the Atlantic. From the battle fronts on land, sea and air, to the streets, fields and factories of Britain, America and Germany, he paints a compelling portrait of these pivotal years when the tide began to turn.
