Pages 1-142, 262-335, and 374-483 were assigned readings for WWII in Europe Case Study in S&W at the NWC. This served as my core text and primary reference material for my paper on Allied Strategy. This quote from the preface was central to helping me formulate my argument, "the greatest advantage the Allies enjoyed over the Axis was the capacity to make strategic decisions that balanced ends against means" (pg x).

From the syllabus: Murray and Millett’s narrative history of the Second World War focuses on the operational level of war. The selections assigned cover the entire war in Europe from its inception in September 1939 until the surrender of Germany in May 1945.… (mais)

Desde que terminó la segunda guerra mundial se han publicado innumerables estudios sobre los más diversos aspectos del conflicto. Lo que se echaba en falta era una visión global que sintetizase estas investigaciones, y esa ha sido la tarea a la que han dedicado décadas de trabajo los profesores Murray y Millett, dos de los máximos especialistas mundiales en el campo de la historia militar. El resultado es una soberbia visión de conjunto que servirá de obra de referencia para los estudiosos, pero que ha sido concebida, ante todo, pensando en el lector medio, que encontrará en estas páginas el apasionante relato de una de las mayores tragedias de la historia de la humanidad. No en vano ha dicho el general Vessey, que presidió el Joint Chiefs of Staff de los Estados unidos: «Me propongo decir a mis nietos que si quieren entender la segunda guerra mundial y la generación que combatió en ella, deben leer este libro».… (mais)

I didn't expect such a deep and expansive tome on military history to be as engaging as it was. Some of the inter-war chapters got a bit dry at times—after awhile the political infighting starts to blend together. But the treatment of the wars was interesting and even engrossing.

Highly recommend.
