Critically acclaimed books by Historian Robert Oulds
The events of this great conflict are explained to the reader as are the tactics, weapons, armies, the key commanders, and the strategy that Montgomery used to thwart Hitler’s plans. Robert Oulds also busts some long-held Hollywood myths and looks at the enormous controversy surrounding Montgomery.
The global conflict of WWII, the bloodiest yet in human history, was as much a clash of cultures as it was a clash of arms. Different world visions collided as fiercely as the great armies which encountered each other on the battlefields of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The struggle of ideas was as vicious as the battle on, and below the waves as was the fight in the skies above. Indeed, the culture war and national differences drove the conflict and influenced where, when, why, and even how, the war was fought.
