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

Klappentext

Everyone knows D-Day, Stalingrad, and Midway. But the war's real turning points happened in places most history books never mention. Frozen Siberian wastelands, forgotten Pacific islands, desperate last stands in jungles and deserts where ordinary soldiers did extraordinary things. This book digs into the classified, overlooked, and deliberately hidden battles of World War II.

These are the engagements that shifted the balance of power, the secret operations that changed the course of the war, and the soldiers whose bravery was never recognized. Forgotten tank battles on the Eastern Front that decided the fate of entire nations. Secret Allied operations classified for decades. Pacific island clashes where small units held the line against impossible odds. Covert commando raids that disrupted enemy supply lines. The untold stories of soldiers from countries whose contributions were erased from history.

World War II was far bigger, messier, and more complex than the version taught in schools. The real war happened in the shadows. This book finally brings those forgotten battles into the light.
