商品簡介
In this military history of World War II, Levine (Borough of Manhattan Community College) narrates key campaigns between 1939 and 1943, focusing generally on the European theater, but not entirely neglecting the Pacific war. The reason for this lopsided focus becomes clear once he begins to draw conclusions. Writing that the proposition that the US was inevitably going to defeat Japan in the Pacific is relatively uncontroversial, he proceeds to make an analogous argument for Europe, contending that the European Axis powers were never truly in a position to defeat their militarily stronger foes, with the entry of the United States into the war guaranteeing a loss on the western front and German victory over the Soviet Union being an extremely unlikely possibility.
