Second front

Meer over het boek

The narrative delves into the strategic delay of the Western Allies in opening the Second Front during World War II, emphasizing the tensions between the United States, England, and the Soviet Union. It highlights the promises made in 1942, the repeated appeals from Soviet leadership, and the eventual launch of Operation Overlord in June 1944. The book suggests that the postponement was influenced by the self-serving interests of the Allies, raising questions about their motivations and the impact on the war's progression and the liberation of Europe from Nazi control.
