3.0 out of 5 stars An Incomplete Effort, May 18, 2007
By Mr. Truthteller (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
The purpose of this book (self-evident from its title) is to examine World War Two through the perspective of the Germans.
The book is divided into three sections: (1) Political and Social Perspectives, (2) Economic Perspectives, and (3) Military Perspectives.
The section on Political and Social Perspectives is well done, explaining how Germans were influenced, affected, and indocrinated in many ways after the Nazis came to power.
The section on Economic Perspectives, the shortest section in the book at a mere 15 pages, is not well done, focusing not on the overall economy during the Nazi regime, 1933-45, but only on certain aspects of it: the industrialists' relationship with Hitler, Speer's last-ditch efforts to invigorate war production, and Hitler's pet weapons projects.
The section on Military Perspectives is surprisingly the worst section in the book. It focuses on four wartime objectives: Operation Sealion, the code name for the Nazi invasion of Britain (20+ pages), the securing of the Balkan states prior to the invasion of Russia (2 pages), the invasion of Russia (20+ pages), and the siege of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge (6 pages).
Of these, the only enlightening discussion is on the invasion of the Soviet Union.
The discussion of Operation Sealion needs a good editor and should have been trimmed in half as it just goes on and on; the discussion also excludes basic facts about the Battle of Britain, such as the effective use of radar (which provided the RAF with superior concentration of its inferior forces against incoming Luftwaffe attacks, equalizing the battles and fooling the Germans into thinking the RAF had more planes available to it than it actually did), that explains why the RAF survived, stalling Operation Sealion.
A more through discussion of the Balkans campaign should have been undertaken as the one in this book is too brief to be of any use.
Similarly, there should have been a more complete explanation of the siege of Bastogne, which as written is pointless as it does not provide sufficient detail on how Bastogne held out (effective use of artillery and airdropped supplies) and was relieved.

It is always interesting to see things through the other side's vantage. This book well serves.

Nicely written. Nicely illustrated. Well informative.
