Blood, Tears and Folly: An Objective Look at World War II
Author(s): Len Deighton
By 1942, the civilised world had been brought to the brink of ruin. The British were bankrupt and the United States only driven from isolation by the humiliation at Pearl Harbour. Before the tide fully turned in 1943, millions had been put to death. This is an account of a time when humanity was consumed by violence and destruction.
