The Ninety Days

Plot

On October 4, 1942, Hitler and the Japanese War Lords were at the apex of their power. By January 1, 1943 the Axis was headed toward certain defeat. The Allies had reversed the tide in five decisive engagements: Guadalcanal, El Alamein, Operation Torch, Stalingrad and The Barents Sea. Thomas Carmichael's incisive study tells the story of those five battles and that ninety days. Detailed maps accompany the text.
