Addresses head-on the central issue of invasion timing in the Allied European strategy of World War II
Second Front Now—1943 addresses head-on the central issue of invasion timing in the Allied European strategy of World War II. The author reconstructs and compares the actual military situations of the several combatants in a detailed and ambitious manner. Drawing on a vast and growing body of American, British, and German memoirs and secondary sources, as well as on newly available archival materials in Washington and London, the author constructs a persuasive case for the feasibility of invasion in 1943.
Walter Scott Dunn Jr. is also the author of Hitler’s Nemesis: The Red Army, 1930–1945 and The Soviet Economy and the Red Army, 1930–1945.
