Language: English | 1281 Pages | ISBN: 0197848370
Description:
An engrossing and encyclopedic narrative of the year in which the outcome of World War Two hung in the balance
The year opened with the Axis powers inflicting a series of disasters on the newly formed Allies: Pearl Harbor, followed by Japan's conquest of the Philippines and Southeast Asia; Rommel running unchecked in North Africa; German U-boats transforming the East Coast of the United States into a shooting gallery; the failure of Britain's strategic bombing campaign; and devastating defeats of the Red Army at Kharkov, Crimea, and southern Russia. By the summer of 1942, many of these theatres offered a grim global calculus. Any notion of decisive victory seemed far-fetched.
Yet by the end of 1942 there had been a sea-change. Within just one 40-day timespan, the British had triumphed over Rommel at Alamein; British and American forces landed in North Africa to confront the Axis position there; the Americans won two naval battles at Guadalcanal, sealing the fate of that campaign and with it Japanese expansionism; the Red Army launched a massive counter-offensive at Stalingrad that would condemn six Axis armies-and hundreds of thousands of German, Italian, Romanian and Hungarian soldiers-to eventual destruction. The Allies had somehow gained the upper hand, forcing the Axis powers into a defensive crouch from which they would not rebound. The war, in short, had turned.
Jonathan Parshall's epic 1942: Crux of War offers a sweeping new narrative and visual history. Containing more than 150 maps and timelines, it looks at the year from all sides and from every front, revealing how military reform, economic mobilization, inspired improvisation, and growing professionalism coalesced quickly and decisively, paving the way toward final Allied victory. Parshall's book examines and illuminates World War II's most crucial and consequential year: its crux.
