«World War Two: A Short History» is Norman Stone's historical essay, published by Allen Lane in hardcover (224 pages, in English).
Norman Stone starts from German resentment after the First World War and Hitler's rise to explain how the invasion of Poland in 1939 opened the conflict. The work combines the decisions of leaders with the great military campaigns, and underlines the destruction and what was at stake in a brief, ironic and fast-paced account.
First edition, published on March 26, 2013. Dimensions 14.4 × 2.7 × 22.2 cm and weight 410 grams.
Intended for readers with no direct memory of the conflict and for those seeking a quick synthesis with judgement, not an exhaustive study.
