Summary: Good on the strategy and tactics - bad on the politics
Comment: I thought that the book conveyed clearly the military struggle on all of the fronts in the second world war. The author was an early proponent of the mechanised warfare that characterised the second world war. He explains the tactics and strategy of the antagonists he explains well and quite even-handedly. Giving credit and blame where they are due. The book falls down on the politics. The second world war was not like the gentlemanly affairs of the eighteenth century. It was a war of peoples and ideologies. The author is clearly more in sympathy with the beaten Germans (He was after all a supporter of Mosley). He can be understood for criticising the policy of strategic bombing (a waste of military resources he thinks), but he hardly mentions the extermination of the jews, gypsies and millions of Russians and Poles by Herr Hitler's forces. The killing of so many people helped the Nazi war effort not one bit. This book was published in 1954, so the author could not plead ignorance.
