Turning Points

Turning Points explores the decisive year when the momentum of the Second World War began to shift against the Axis powers. From the destruction of the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad to the massive tank battle at Kursk, from Allied victory in North Africa to the invasion of Sicily and the fall of Mussolini, this volume follows the military and political events that changed the direction of the war. It also examines the strategic bombing campaign, the defeat of the German U-boat threat in the Atlantic, and the Tehran Conference, where Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin coordinated the path toward final victory. This fifth book shows how 1943 became the year when the Axis lost the initiative and the Allies began closing in from every front.
