About this product

Product Information

Annihilation argues that World War II evolved into a war of annihilation--a total war--that engulfed militants and civilians alike. The book challenges the "good war" thesis by showing that the "strategy of annihilation" was employed by all sides in the conflict. Moving from the onset of hostilities to the final days of battle, the narrative provides a global perspective that links all theaters of the war.

Reviews
"Zeiler successfully strikes a balance between the details of specific battles and campaigns and the larger picture. He also avoids the clichs 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.
