Brendan Simms has a bold hypothesisthat it was Hitlers fixation on the United States and Great Britain, and his fear of German decay and degeneracy, that drove his strategic thinking and behaviorand he argues it with exceptional eloquence and force. This fascinating book will force us to rethink the strategy of the Second World War in a way that none other has in more than a generation.
