 Gordon Corrigan's "The Second World War," newly published in America, delivers the familiar story with a revisionist tang. A career British officer in the Far East, Mr. Corrigan ridicules Churchill as a meddlesome "mountebank" whose major contribution to winning the war was his cultivation of FDR. Gen. Bernard Montgomery, the "hero" of the battle of El Alemain in North Africa, Mr. Corrigan says, was a vain, querulous glory hound. The author writes with more authority about British operations than other action. Still, his engaging narrative is unmatched for flair and sprightly footnotes. A new take on the war written by a career British officer in a lively, sometimes cheeky voice with a distinctive revisionist approach, especially about Churchill's heroics.
In this major new history, Gordon Corrigan argues that what we call the Second World War was in fact two separate conflicts: one against Germany in Western Europe, Soviet Russia and North Africa; the other against Japan in the Far East and Pacific. Each conflict had distinct causes and had to be fought in different ways against very different enemies, who rarely, if ever, coordinated their efforts.
