Reflecting…
Why read it?
1 author picked All Hell Let Loose as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Max Hastings is the author of more than thirty books, many of them about the Second World War. All Hell Let Loose describes the Second World War in considerable detail but focuses on the human experience of what it was like to be a participant in this critical period of history. For its breadth, its power of expression, and penetrating analysis, this book is unsurpassed. There are many excellent single-volume studies of the Second World War, but I rate this as one of the very best.
From Glyn's list on Great WW2 books published after 2000.
