A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERSHORTLISTED FOR THE GILDER LEHRMAN PRIZE
FOR MILITARY HISTORY'A masterpiece. It puts all previous
single-volume works of the conflict in the shade' Saul David, The
Times 'This book is Richard Overy's magnum opus ... It would be
difficult to overstate the brilliance with which argument and
insight are interwoven in a fast-paced narrative' John Darwin,
Times Literary Supplement A bold new approach to the Second World
War from one of Britain's foremost military historians Richard
Overy sets out in Blood and Ruins to recast the way in which we
view the Second World War and its origins and aftermath.He argues
that this was the 'great imperial war', a violent end to almost a
century of global imperial expansion which reached its peak in the
ambitions of Italy, Germany and Japan in the 1930s and early 1940s,
before descending into the largest and costliest war in human
history and the end, after 1945, of all territorial empires. How
war on a huge scale was fought, supplied, paid for, supported by
mass mobilization and morally justified forms the heart of this new
account. Above all, Overy explains the bitter cost for those
involved in fighting, and the exceptional level of crime and
atrocity that marked these imperial projects, the war and its
aftermath.This war was as deadly for civilians as it was for the
military, a war to the death over the future of the global order.
Blood and Ruins is a masterpiece from of one of the most renowned
historians of the Second World War, which will compel us to view
the war in novel and unfamiliar ways. Thought-provoking, original
and challenging, Blood and Ruins sets out to understand the war
anew.

Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
