BY NIGEL CAWTHORNE
The Second World War was the final global conflict of the twentieth century. It involved more combatants, and a wider range of battlefield terrain than any other conflict in history, from the frozen plains of Russia to the Libyan desert, and from the depths of the Atlantic to the skies over Britain. Turning the Tide examines the progress of the war, from the British evacuation of Dunkirk, an operation unparalleled in history, to the final battle amid the ruins of Berlin.

Types of battle considered include the airborne assault of Crete, the amphibious assault on Iwo Jima, armoured warfare at The Battle of the Bulge, the aerial combat of the Battle of Britain, and the battles for the two cities of Stalingrad and Berlin.
