Most of you will not be able to handle this so stop reading now!
Now, I have issued my challenge and it will remain open all summer. For those that have always wanted to take on a serious undertaking and have waited to do it the time is now. The next book will be:
<span style="font-weight: bold">A War To Be Won: Fighting The Second World War, by Williamson Murray, and Alan R. Millet.</span>
One location it can be purchased for only $5.00
In the past, I have completed a year of study on that war, and in this one book I believe I have found the most comprehensive and readable guide that covers the entire war, both sides, on the sea, on land and in the air. Maybe you will not be able to finish the entire book this summer. Bookmark where you stopped and attack it again later. I consider this a book for everyone's library.
<span style="text-decoration: underline">A Review:</span>
The West's eventual triumph is the subject of A War to Be Won, a comprehensive and highly readable history by two eminent and prolific military historians. Williamson Murray and Allan Millet focus on operations but range far and wide into politics, strategy, military doctrines (why armies fight the way they do), weapons, science and tactics, from the bumbling politics of the 30's to the Cold War...This is edgy, though expert, history. The ordeal of the Soviet war against Germany is dramatically and vividly told, as is the pillage and rape that Red Army soldiers inflicted on prisoners and civilians within reach.
