The author, David Miller, has selected several different battles - some of which lasted for days, others for years - waged beneath and above the waves, across desert wastes, high in the clouds by day and night, on tiny islands and on rolling and mountainous terrain, and he has described them in detail, explaining their significance to the war as a whole.Illustrated with dramatic photographs and color maps, this volume contains accounts of large and small-scale actions that affected both the length and the eventual outcome of the war.
