PRAISE FOR
BLOOD AND RUINS
: '
Majestic and original ... Overy has written many fine books, but
Blood and Ruins
is his masterpiece. It puts all previous single-volume works of the conflict in the shade.
Monumental... [A] vast and detailed study that is surely
the finest single-volume history of World War Two.
This is a magnificent book that reflects the
deep scholarship and humane judgment of a magisterial historian.
Richard Overy
is Honorary Research Professor of History at the University of Exeter and one of Britain's most distinguished historians. His major works include
The Dictators,
winner of the 2005 Wolfson Prize,
The Morbid Age
and
The Bombing War,
which was a finalist for the 2014 Cundhill Prize. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and a Member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts.
