Inside the Nazi War Machine: How Three Generals Unleashed Hitler's Blitzkrieg Upon the World by Bevin Alexander

5.0

So many of the WWII narratives I've experienced (books, film, TV) have the Germans well established in Europe, or at most they summarize things. I loved getting a better sense of how and why they got there--from French military inadequacies to Hitler's lack of vision. This book gives a solid close-up look at the Battle of France with the chapter on Dunkirk taking on its climax. Something for everyone: plenty of weapons names and descriptions, strategy, people stories, etc. A valuable part of of my WWII book shelf.
