Auke de Haan: The Unknown World War 2 Battles Book, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Second World War was fought on battlefields stretching from the Pacific to the Arctic, yet mainstream accounts tend to focus on a handful of famous campaigns. The Unknown World War 2 Battles Book looks beyond Normandy and Stalingrad to examine the lesser-known engagements that proved just as decisive, brutal, or strategically significant as the conflicts that dominate popular memory. These are the battles that shaped the outcome of the war without ever receiving the attention they deserve.

Each chapter profiles a different overlooked engagement, providing tactical context, the forces involved, and the wider strategic consequences of the fighting. The book draws on theaters of war across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Pacific, covering land, sea, and air operations. Readers with an interest in military history will find this an informative and eye-opening companion to more conventional Second World War histories.
