Decisions That Mattered: Ten Decisions That Changed the World in 1940-1941
About This Novel
The author Ian Kershaw uses ten chapters to examine ten interrelated political decisions with huge military impact made by six major countries including the United Kingdom, the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany, Italy and Japan during World War II from May 1940 to December 1941. From Britain's decision to persist in fighting Germany, to Germany's decision to declare war on the United States after Pearl Harbor, to Hitler's decision to exterminate the Jews on the European continent, these decisions transformed two separate wars on the Eurasian continent into a truly global conflict. Although at the end of 1941, the war was still in progress for more than three years, the outcome of World War II was already determined at this time.
