Review Quotes: "John Lukacs excels at making historical fulcrum moments exciting, explicable and immediate. As with his superb "Five Days In London," he shows how important Adolf Hitler's one-man decisions were to the experiences of millions in the twentieth century. When the Fuhrer unleashed Blitzkrieg on the USSR on 21 June 1941, he said that Operation Barbarossa would make the world hold its breath; you will hold yours as Lukacs' narrative unrolls."-Andrew Roberts
