Reviews
Zeiler successfully strikes a balance between the details of specific battles and campaigns and the larger picture. He also avoids the cliches that tend to appear in the military histories of World War II. . . . Zeiler has written an impressive synthesis that does an excellent job of bringing together the complex elements of the war. --Phillip Payne, St. Bonaventure University Annihilation does a great job of providing a readable, coherent, and accessible narrative. . . . It also presents forceful arguments and theses throughout-and whether you agree with them or not, they provide plenty of food for thought. I like the 'you were there' feel of this book. --Hugh Dubruelle, Saint Anselm College Zeiler successfully strikes a balance between the details of specific battles and campaigns and the larger picture.
