Commanders of World War Two

These are the commanders – the decision makers of World War Two. Their military bearing, bravado, skill, and dedication shaped the outcome of the greatest armed conflict in history. From Montgomery and his clash with Rommel in the desert, to Zhukov and the Soviet juggernaut in the east, to Eisenhower’s daring gambit to commence Operation Overlord, the D-Day invasion of Hitler’s Fortress Europe, these are their stories. From Yamamoto’s planning and execution of the attack on Pearl Harbor to Nimitz, Halsey and Spruance turning the tide in the Pacific and the surrender in Tokyo Bay. Key Publishing presents a frank and comprehensive overview of these intrepid men and their times.
