review 1: Good insight on the strategies, organizational structure AND inventions that allowed the allies to process the war to its final conclusion. It was not a specific battle, weapon or person that brought victory to the allies, but rather the work and toil of ordinary soldiers, sailors, airmen, along with scientists, engineers and businessmen, all supporting the aforementioned battles, weapons and leaders.
review 2: This is an extraordinary book that carefully lays out five case studies of how strategy, operations and tactics all bear on the success or failure of major components of the Allied victory in WWII. Kennedy nicely ties together his arguments and demonstrates in a carefully researched, well-written narrative what specific organizational and technical inn... moreovations were necessary to bring about the outcome of the war, which was, as he shows, not assured in its early stages. One of the best books I've read on WWII in its analysis and identification and description of critical factors. On a par with "At Dawn We Slept". less
