2017

Drawing on 3,000 years of military history, [the author] argues that despite its ... barbarity, neither the war's origins nor its geography were unusual. Nor was its ultimate outcome surprising. The Axis powers were well prepared to win limited border conflicts, but once they blundered into global war, they had no hope of victory."--Provided by publisher.
