Story of The Western Front (2nd Edition)

Plunge into the battles and uncover the top-secret plots that defined the Western Front in World War II. Before turning his forces on the Soviet Union, Hitler determined to finish the job of conquering Western Europe and bringing Britain to the negotiating table. By the end of the summer of 1940 he looked well placed to achieve his lofty dreams, with numerous countries, including France, cowering beneath the boot of their new master. And yet Britain would not yield, and by the end of 1941 she had gained a mighty ally in the form of the US. Once seemingly unbeatable, Nazi Germany now faced a war on two fronts. This is the story of the struggle for the West, a clash that would engulf swathes of Europe, claim millions of lives and ultimately play a key role in the destruction of the Third Reich.
