Moral Combat: A History Of Word War II

There are hundreds of books about World War II – incredibly, this offers an original take. By examining the moral sentiments of the leaders and societies involved in the war, Michael Burleigh makes an astute analysis of the ways in which these moral foundations influenced what are now seen as the war’s key events. The Daily Telegraph calls his book ‘a work of erudition, vast practical knowledge and abundant common sense, beautifully and wittily written, and packed with insight’.
