-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part of an exciting new serie, this heavily illustrated volume examines in detail, with insightful comment, the important commanders of all arms of ervice and incorpoating all the major belligerent natiosn during World War II.

An interesting introduction orivides an overview of the ranks of the period, the structure of the armed forces, how commanders were trained and selected for leadership, and how promotions (even demotions) were carried out, in the filed and by other means. It alos looks at who controlled the armed forces and how political leaders interfaced with the military during the war.

The main focus of the book, however, is the concise career descriptions of approximately 180 individual commanders -that determined the progress and the outcome of the war: they generally made the decisions, led the troops, and instilled discipline, morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who fought the war in Europe and the Pacific.

The book, and the series, are fascinating works of reference for military enthusiasts and historians alike.
