ملخص:In this brilliantly articulated study of war, Richard Holmes examines the scars left on history by the horrific Second World War. It is his contention that, until now, the enormity of sacrifice made by the men and women who fought on its battlefields has been hidden. Through his writing, such scarifice becomes startlingly apparent. Holmes confines his study to four major campaigns: El Alamein, Monte Cassino, Operation Market Garden (which included the battle of Arnheim) and the RAF's bomber offensive against Germany. Using the letters and diaries of the soliders involved, he recreates what it was like to be involved in such horrific and bloody conflicts. The author himself reads this compelling testament to the atrocities of war and the price which so many paid for the freedom of millions.
