The complete magisterial history of the greatest and most terrible event in history, from one of the finest historians of the Second World War. This shows the impact of war upon hundreds of millions of people around the world - soldiers, sailors and airmen; housewives, farm workers and children.

Reflecting Max Hastings's 35 years of research on World War II, All Hell Let Loose describes the course of events, but focuses chiefly upon human experience. There are vivid descriptions of the tragedies and triumphs of a host of ordinary people, in uniform and out of it, in an 'everyman's story'.

This is now the entire audiobook, not in two parts.

Incredibly well read this book has given me a new perspective on several aspects of the war.

It’s not an easy listen, there are several moments in which the horror of the war, especially lesser known parts, can be very moving.

Would strongly recommend.

Amazing.

Simply, this book is excellent. Max Hastings did an excellent job writing this edition to WW2 historical texts.

Max Hastings must be the foremost expert on WW2 history. Bleak but that’s the nature of total war.
