Publisher Description

“Gripping. . . . splendid history. A brilliantly clear and accessible account of the war in all its theaters. Roberts’s prose is unerringly precise and strikingly vivid. It is hard to imagine a better-told military history of World War II.” –New York Times Book Review

Andrew Roberts's acclaimed new history has been hailed as the finest single-volume account of this epic conflict. From the western front to North Africa, from the Baltic to the Far East, he tells the story of the war—the grand strategy and the individual experience, the brutality and the heroism—as never before.

Meticulously researched and masterfully written, The Storm of War illuminates the war's principal actors, revealing how their decisions shaped the course of the conflict. Along the way, Roberts presents tales of the many lesser-known individuals whose experiences form a panoply of the courage and self-sacrifice, as well as the depravity and cruelty, of the Second World War.

Weisbo ,

the Storm of War

Very good overall, balanced view of the entire conflict, which for example includes aspects of the war in east Asia I have seldom seen discussed and truly flesh out the idea of "world" war. The emphasis on the eastern front and the magnitude of loss and sacrifice on both sides there, relative to the Anglo-American effort in the west, is very important and eye opening. However, inexplicable editing errors, especially toward the end of the book often muddy summations of important arguments and left me scratching my head. I can't believe these gaffes made it into the print version and this makes me wonder about the product I am paying for on iBooks.

The storm of war

This might have been outstanding given its insightful view on ww2. Unfortunately, this is the most carelessly edited book I've ever read. I'm ok with an occasional misspelling, but this digital version is full of gross errors like the beginning of one sentence ending with another, all with no intelligible result. Why spend years on a work and quit right before the finish line? It makes me think iBooks need a version upgrade path like apps.
