Antony Beevor
About this listen
Over the past two decades, Antony Beevor has established himself as one of the world's premier historians of World War II. His multi-award winning books have included Stalingrad and The Fall of Berlin 1945. Now, in his newest and most ambitious book, he turns his focus to one of the bloodiest and most tragic events of the 20th century, The Second World War.
In this searing narrative, which takes us from Hitler's invasion of Poland on September 1st, 1939 to V-J day on August 14th, 1945, and the war's aftermath, Beevor describes the conflict and its global reach - one that included every major power. The result is a dramatic and breathtaking single-volume history that provides a remarkably intimate account of the war that, more than any other, still commands attention and an audience.
Thrillingly written and brilliantly researched, Beevor's grand and provocative account is destined to become the definitive work on this complex, tragic, and endlessly fascinating period in world history. It confirms once more that he is a military historian of the first rank.

Beevor should do the Iran Iraq war
I was worried that this was too long and broad of a book to keep my attention. But it did. I got chills in the last couple sentences as it came to an end. Was just amazing that it kept my attention.

Amazing
Couldn't get enough of this book. The narrator was great, and the story (although horrific at parts) was so engrossing.

Spectacular Book
This book is truly One the finest historical reads on World War 2. I first came across Antony Beevor after reading his incredible book on Stalingrad. I am going to read that one again. It is that good.

Amazing Detail
Seems very well researched and accurate. There is so much to learn about WW2 and Antony does a great job teaching and then setting up the listener to dig further into a certain topic.

Excellent
I've read many books on WW2 but learned thousands of new things from this book. I plan to own a hardcopy as well as this audiobook so I can re-visit chapters. It's a book that I hope is read for countless generations (in the hope of these events/war crimes not being repeated).
