Over 350 characters are portrayed in this study: commanders, front-line heroes, statesmen and politicians, spies and intelligence chiefs, people from all walks of life who showed courage or strategic skills during World War II. This book celebrates victorious records, tragic defeats and winning strategies, from Churchill, Eisenhower and Stalin to unsung heroes, spies and backroom theorists. The coverage is international, including all armed services, military and political personnel. Over half the personalities portrayed are illustrated in the book, and many bibliographic sources are provided for further study.
