Amazon.com

Having won an unprecedented series of victories and acquired huge new territories in 1942, Germany and Japan seemed poised to dominate most of the world. A year later both empires were reeling back in the face of Allied assaults. The rapid turnaround, King's College history professor Richard Overy writes, came about largely as a result of technological innovation and structural responsiveness. The Allies were able to convert their economies to a war footing with few institutional fetters, while the Axis powers imposed layers of bureaucracy that often competed internally. In fact, Overy writes, at one point during the war, the Luftwaffe had more than 425 different aircraft models in production, the result of different state agencies' and manufacturers' vying to push their models into the order of battle. The defeated Axis powers' conversion to their foes' economic model enabled them, according to Overy, to become technological leaders in the postwar years. His study is full of detail, and it makes for very good reading.

From Publishers Weekly

In The Road to War (1990), Overy plumbed the origins of WWII. Here, he examines the reasons for the war's outcome, challenging two pieces of conventional wisdom: that the Axis overextended itself by taking on the U.S., Britain and the Soviet Union, and that the Allied victory was due to material strength only. Instead, Overy contends that the Allies' triumph depended on the exponential improvement of an initially inferior military capacity, as well as on moral fiber. The Allies, he argues convincingly, turned economic potential into fighting power, exploiting modernity by integrating technology and logistics into a comprehensive war effort that was sustained by moral force. Combining telling detail and wide scope, the author shows that, ultimately, the governments and peoples of the Allied Grand Coalition triumphed because they acted on the understanding that WWII was a life-and-death struggle for fundamental values.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Overy's Book Is a Breath of Fresh Air in Discussing WWII, 18. Mai 2000

Von	Barron Laycock "Labradorman" (Temple, New Hampshire United States) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen (REAL NAME)

Richard Overy's excellent book takes a careful and painstaking look at both how and why the Aliies won what he contends was a much more closely fought war than traditional treatments of the matter would have us believe. He cites several issues which were crucial; the war on the seas, primarily in the Atlantic, where the balance of terror for some time seemed to be tipping in favor of the Axis forces, the air bombing war over the skies of Europe, which holstered squadrons of Axis planes into a defense of the Fatherland, and removed them from conduct of a more vigorous air campaign against the Russians; the miscalculation concerning the ability of the Soviets to sustain their battle lines and to even accelerate the pace of the war on the Eastern front. In addition Overy cites the astonishing productive and manufacturing capability of the Americans, Canadians, British, and even the Soviets, who outworked and outproduced the Germans gun for gun, plane for plane, and tank for tank during the darkest and most difficult moments of the war; the constant and confusing interference with weapon selection and production by the upper reaches of the Nazi hierarchy. Finally, the philosophical sense shared by the Allies of fighting for the right, which Overy argues persuasively informed Allied forces with a sense of moral courage that seemed to imbue them with a fighting ferocity the Axis found difficult to rival. This is a great book by a very notable author, and one every respectable denizen of WWII history should have on his or her shelf.

5.0 von 5 Sternen EXCELLENT ANALYSIS OF WORLD WAR II, 27. Juli 1999

Von Ein Kunde

This is a remarkable book, and it deserves all the five star ratings already given to it by previous reviewers, as it has the potential to upset our thinking about how the Allies actually won the Second World War, or even how important was the American and British contribution to the War with Germany.

Overy looks at the statistics and comes up with some remarkable, and some disturbing, speculations. For example, he feels it may have been possible for the Russians alone to defeat the Germans. Or, if England were defeated early in the war, we in the U.S. might have had to live with the situation of a Nazi German Europe. And, did we win through Hitler's mistakes, or did we win by the economy of war goods America produced in great quantities?

Overy gives credit where it is due, contrary to any current political correctness. He gives credit to the Russians and explains in detail why - he gives credit to the effectiveness of Hitler's leadership, or generalship, and he carefully explains that also - and, he introduces a lot of generally-ignored "what if" questions that cause the reader to think.

According to Overy, the Second World War was a complex string of events and human considerations. If it had not proceeded exactly the way it did, and events occur as they luckily did in some cases, we would now be looking at a different "new world order."

Excellent analysis, interwoven with some imagistic action from time to time to keep the reader on his/her toes. A "must read" for the serious student of the Second World War.

4.0 von 5 Sternen Masterfully detailed and written, 4. August 1998

Von Ein Kunde

Overy masterfully attacks a subject made all the more elusive by its apparent obviousness; how it was that the great coalition of forces fighting fascism during the Second World War, managed to win a none-too-certain victory. Overy analyses critical components of the Allied victory in the war, and does so in a prose both dramatic, and filled with historical detail. He covers key campaigns on the sea, land, and air -in a detail that is surprising given the breadth of subject matter; and follows his blow-by-blow account of the war by analyses of the economies and technological development of the powers at war; and finally by the leadership of the warring countries, and the moral codes that guided them.

This is an excellent book through and through -from the anecdotes and battle strategies discussed in the planning and execution of Midway and Stalingrad, to the remarkable treatise included on the moral world-view of the Nazi hierarchy, and how it affected the moral! e of the German soldier. Any history enthusiast, let alone any student of this great and terrible war, should have this book in his or her personal collection. It is truly one of those indispensable resources that anyone from layman to general can learn from.
