Any notion of decisive victory seemed far-fetched. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYet by the end of 1942 there had been a sea-change. Within just one 40-day timespan, the British had triumphed over Rommel at Alamein; British and American forces landed in North Africa to confront the Axis position there; the Americans won two naval battles at Guadalcanal, sealing the fate of that campaign and with it Japanese expansionism; the Red Army launched a massive counter-offensive at Stalingrad that would condemn six Axis armies-and hundreds of thousands of German, Italian, Romanian and Hungarian soldiers-to eventual destruction.

Containing more than 150 maps and timelines, it looks at the year from all sides and from every front, revealing how military reform, economic mobilization, inspired improvisation, and growing professionalism coalesced quickly and decisively, paving the way toward final Allied victory. Parshall's book examines and illuminates World War II's most crucial and consequential year: its crux.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51368938995935,"sku":"9780197848371","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/0JCaBDV8nx9780197848371.webp?v=1789135908"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/jonathan-parshall.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
