It has been said that he who has no history, has no future. Our great Heritage in America, which is our birthright, our traditions, and legacies that have been bequeathed to us from the past, gives us our individuality, and makes us the proud citizens that we are. If we do not have a religion, a history, a heritage and a meaningful government; of, for, and by the people, that we believe in, we are then a worthless and insignificant people. Without a history we will have no Heritage, and cannot learn from the past, and we will make the same mistakes again, and again, and no progress in human endeavours for the betterment of mankind, will ever be accomplished. So, we must learn the history of WWII in order that the mistakes and blunders made then will never occur again. We must look back at WWII to be able to identify those great qualities in Americans that made them accomplish such greatness as they then did, and try to perpetuate them the best that we can. We must learn from mistakes, as well as from achievements, so as to then make this world a better place for all mankind to live in; in peace, freedom, harmony and prosperity. For the citizens of this great country to remain free, we must all have something that we believe in immensely, and a cause that we are willing to die for. Without such, we are a meaningless and empty people that are easily destroyed by the forces of evil. There have always been two forces at work opposing each other in this world, one of good, and one of evil. It has always been inherent upon the good people to put down, and defeat the evil forces. This is a fact that we must always face, and be vigilant to successfully deal with. To protect and preserve our History, our Heritage, and our Religious faiths, and freedoms, it takes brave men, men of strong heart, to endure the hardships of the trials and tribulations of war. These must be men with a legacy, a birthright to live up to, a heritage and tradition to follow in the footsteps of, that has been bequeath to us by our forebearers who have fought for what is right, who have won over evil, and passed the rewards on down to us. It is necessary to know the true worth of what our heritage and legacy is, that has been passed on to us, in order to protect and defend it. We must have great faith in our birthright, in order to muster the courage that it takes to defend our great American Heritage, our Constitutional government, and our inheritance of these great values, that has been handed down from our forbearers who struggled so hard to create them, and pass them on to us, to protect and preserve for posterity. WWII was a time of great peril for all freedom loving people everywhere. Our Constitution that guarantees us the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as well as freedom of our religious faiths, all was in great peril of being eradicated. Had we Allies not won that war, all of us would have lost those things that were so precious to us. We would not now have our History and Heritage to be proud of, no Religion to give us the moral strength of character to inspire us, to carry us through times of great difficulties and tribulations. We would have been reduced to dumb downed zombies and slave labourers. It is inevitable that henceforth, down through history, American citizens will be called upon to again, and again, put down the forces of evil in this world, both from without, and from within this great Country. To be able to succeed in preserving our history, heritage and our freedom, we must remain prepared to defend against the forces of evil, and to overcome them, through faith in Almighty God, and all that is good, and with the courage to win over the forces of evil.

After storming the beaches on D-Day, June 6, 1944, the Allied invasion of France bogged down in seven weeks of gruelling attrition in Normandy. On 25 July US divisions under Gen. Omar Bradley launched Operation Cobra, an attempt to break out of the hedgerows and begin a war of movement across France. Despite a disastrous start, with misdropped bombs killing hundreds of GIs, Cobra proved to be one of the most pivotal battles of World War II, successfully breaking the stalemate in Normandy and clearing a path into occupied France. 294pp.

The Battle of Alamein was one of the greatest set-piece battles in World War II and the victory for the allied troops was the turning point in the fortunes of war. Within a year of the battle Mussolini had been toppled and the Anglo-American forces had established a firm presence in Italy. The battle was of particular interest as it was a "clean" war. Bitterly fought on both sides according to certain basic ideas of what those involved were not ashamed to call "chivalry", the duel between to remarkable leaders - Rommel and Montgomery - is at the heart of this book. Both had fought and been wounded in World War I, both were personally austere and both had remarkable presence and powers of leadership with their respective troops. 478pp.

Albert Speer was Hitler's architect before the Second World War. Through Hitler's great trust in him and Speer's own genius for organisation he became, effectively from 1942 overlord of the entire war economy, making him the second most powerful man in the Third Reich. Sentenced to twenty years imprisonment in Spandau Prison at the Nuremberg Trails, Speer attempted to progress from moral extinction to moral self-education. How he came to terms with his own acts and failures to act and his real culpability in Nazi war crimes are the questions at the centre of this book. The author had access to Speer, his family and friends and his private papers. After twelve years of research and writing after Speer's death the result is one of the most inimate, and best informed books on Hitler and the Third Reich.757pp.

The second of two volumes, this is a chronological account of the campaigns on the Eastern Front, following the Soviet counter-offensive around Stalingrad to the final destruction of the Ostheer. Having carefully mustered their forces for a counter-offensive around Stalingrad, the commanders of the Red Army began the long process of besting the German Army and pushing it out of the Soviet Union. The last large-scale German offensive in the east, Kursk, broke the back of the revitalized Panzerwaffe and placed the Ostheer on the defensive for the remainder of the conflict. Unrelenting pressure pushed the Ostheer back to the Dniepr and beyond and paved the way for the overwhelming Soviet victories of 1944 and 1945. In the last 18 months of the war, the Red Army demonstrated a complete mastery of the application of force and the crushing victories in Belorussia, the Balkans and Poland destroyed the cohesion of the Ostheer and proved beyond any doubt that Germany was destined for total defeat. This day-by-day acount allows the reader to obtain an understanding of the scale of the conflict and assess the impact of distance and time upon operations or alternatively, to concentrate upon a specific battle as it unfolded. By detailing each combat sector, be it the hard fighting around Leningrad, the destruction of Army Group Centre in Belorussia or the battles of attrition at Kursk, the reader is able to study a chosen area of operations in isolation while also assessing its impact upon the wider campaign. 341pp.
