The Second World War acts as the last touchstone of heroism, resilience and barbarism within living memory. Capturing both epic sweep and human detail, Max Hastings' All Hell Let Loose has been hailed as the definitive, single-volume account: authoritative, vivid, sceptical and humane. What makes it exceptional is the bottom up views and experiences of ordinary people, intermingled with set piece battle scenes and character portraits of legendary leaders: Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin. 'All Hell Let Loose conveys the pity of the war and its immediate aftermath with scholarship and proper sympathy' (The Guardian).

The endlessly rotating pictures are distracting. I liked to listen though - Thanks for posting!

The Soviets lost an amazing amount of men. Hastings lauds this as a virtue. A reason why the USSR won the war all by themselves. The Soviet navy was near non existent, while British and Americans had massive navies employment a large volume of men. That was besides the huge air forces the British and Americans had. The reason why so many men were lost by the Soviets was because they were so bad at fighting. The Germans did not do to the British in North Africa what they did to the Soviets.

The British government in May 1940 *never* thought Britain would lose the war. The empire was too big. They knew the Germans had *zero* chance of a successful invasion.
