The book is considered one of the most comprehensive works focused on the operational history of the Second World War. Key features of the book: • Operational and tactical focus: The authors provide a detailed analysis of military campaigns on land, at sea, and in the air, explaining how strategies were devised in war cabinets and subsequently executed on the battlefield. • Chronological scope: The narrative does not begin merely with the outbreak of war in Europe in 1939; rather, it encompasses the period from the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937 through to the surrender of Japan in 1945. • Critical assessment of leadership: The book presents sharp, realistic portraits of military commanders from both sides—the Allies and the Axis powers—evaluating their successes, failures, and capacity to adapt to industrialized warfare. • Political and moral context: Alongside their analysis of purely military operations, Murray and Millett consistently examine the political decisions and complex moral implications of total war, including the suffering of civilians.
