Brand New Book

From the rear side cover: In September 1939, after years of preparation, Nazi Germany launched its infamous blitzkrieg, invading Poland and firing the first shots of World War II.

Within a year, France and the Low Countries had been occupied and British forces had retreated headlong back across the Channel. By 1941, following further blitzkrieg attacks that overran Yugoslavia and Greece, the bulk of continental Europe had fallen under German control. However, although those who faced this onslaught had no answer to the Wehrmacht's flexible command system, technological superiority and aggressive combined arms doctrine, the blitzkrieg was not a perfect strategy. With Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe efforts to overpower the British Isles failing in the 'Nest, and the looming threat of the Soviet Union's stiff opposition to advances in the East, the blitzkrieg faltered, and its shortcomings would soon became clear.

Featuring nearly 100 maps, this stunning atlas follows the successful blitzkrieg period of 1939-41, presenting in intricate detail the key engagements. battles, and campaigns that shook Europe. The sheer speed of German advances can beseen in the sweeping actions depicted in the maps and the accompanying text highlights how bribery, diplomatic pressure and political manipulation were used alongside military action to maximize the efficiency of the invasions.

When we post our books, we take great care in packaging them - first your book will be wrapped in bubblewrap, which protects the book and even keeps out any rain (in the event that it's raining when the postie delivers it!). Then we wrap your book in stiff cardboard, taking care to make sure all the corners are protected, and finally the package is wrapped in thick brown paper.
