It was Winston Churchill who, in his speech at Fulton, Missouri, advocated a 'special relationship between the British Commonwealth...and the United States...the continuance of intimate relationships between our military advisers, leading to the common study of potential dangers'. Through the eyes of Churchill, Roosevelt and their successors, Sir Robin Renwick traces the development of the Anglo-American relationship since the desperate summer of 1940 and the part it played in the shaping of the post-war world. Detecting once again a whiff of the 1930s in the air, Sir Robin concludes that, as one of the ties that bind Europe and North America, the relationship remains an important one, and not only to Britain and the United States. There are many on both sides of the Atlantic who will think that the world would have been poorer without it. Nor has the world yet assumed so secure and predictable a form as to render it redundant.

'Outstanding...Overy has written a masterpiece of analytical history, posing and answering one of the great questions of the century' Niall Ferguson, Sunday Times The Allied victory in 1945 – though comprehensive – was far from inevitable. By 1942 almost the entire resources of continental Europe were in German hands and Japan had wiped out the western colonial presence in Asia. Democracy appeared to have had its day. In this remarkable study, Richard Overy provides a reinterpretation of the war through an account of the decisive military campaigns that created the astonishing revival in Allied fortunes. He also explores the deeper factors that determined success and failure: industrial stength, fighting ability, the skills of leaders and the moral contrasts between the two sides. Today the modern world is once more in the throes of painful transformation. It is essential to establish why and how the last great war was won. Richard Overy casts a brilliant light on the most important turning-point of the modern age. ‘A compelling analysis...skilful and chilling’ The Economist

The Germans and their Japanese allies have gone from victory to victory since the start of the war, but in the autumn of 1942, that begins to change. On the small Pacific island of Guadalcanal, US forces drive back the Japanese to capture a key airfield. Meanwhile, on the Eastern Front, Hitler’s blitzkrieg slams to a halt at Stalingrad, stopped by the Russian winter and a Red Army determined to defend every street. As the war enters its fourth year, the conflict becomes ever more brutal. Both sides try to break their enemies’ spirits by carpet-bombing civilian-filled cities. The Nazis also break the Geneva Convention. As a result, more than half of all Soviet prisoners of war die in German captivity. This issue covers the dramatic moments that turned the war in favour of the Allies – both on the Eastern Front and in the Pacific. World History invites you on a fascinating journey to bygone eras, allowing you to explore the greatest events in history. Take a trip back in time - to the frontlines of World War 2, to the Viking raids, and the religious rituals of ancient Egypt. World History is for everyone who would like to know more about the exciting and dramatic events of the past.

There are many on both sides of the Atlantic who will think that the world would have been poorer without it. Its future will depend on learning the lessons of military overstretch in Iraq and Afghanistan and resolving the mismatch between Britain's desire to play a role in world affairs and the resources allocated to doing so.

ALLIES AT WAR recreates the turbulent and dramatic wartime relationship between three titanic leaders who, in the public view, were on the same side: the American President, Franklin Rooseve But behind the scenes they fought viciously and cunningly in pursuit of their own agendas. 'De Gaulle is a very dangerous threat to us, ' accused Roosevelt. 'De Gaulle is a man opportunist, unscrupulous, ambitious to the last decree' complained Churchill. 'We must have no relationship with the Anglo-Saxons under any circumstances and at whatever cost', warned de Gaulle. Hatred, rivalry, and hasty judgements underpinned a unique emotional triangle, as well as occasional outbreaks of mutual respect and love. With extensive research and newly uncovered wartime papers, Allies at War provides an extraordinary insight into these complex men and the post-war legacy of their embittered alliance. 'Allies at War is particularly good at showing us how events looked at the time, rather than how they would later seem.' - Daily Telegraph 'A cracker' - The Independent 'Full of astonishing revelations and insights' - The Guardian
