New Book by Prof. Norman Stone
Norman Stone, world-renowned historian and professor in the Department of International Relations, has published his latest book on the history of the Second World War. Entitled "World War Two: A Short History," Prof. Stone's book offers, in the words of the publisher, "an unprecedentedly concise, utterly authoritative account of the deadliest war of human history." Here is an extract from the publisher's website: "With astonishing aplomb, Norman Stone traces the causes, course, and conclusion of this epic war. A stunning achievement, 'World War Two' is a work of history of which only Norman Stone is capable. Brisk yet profound, pithy but endlessly informative, it is an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the twentieth century and its most defining conflict."
