The second volume of the official British history of the Second World War dealing with grand strategy at the highest level. Covering the period from September 1939 to June 1941, J. R. M. Butler examines the political, military and economic direction of the war during its critical early phase, including Allied plans and organisation, the expansion of the armed forces, the German war machine, the Polish campaign, the Balkans, the Near East, blockade and trade warfare, the Scandinavian campaign and the changing international balance of power.
As part of the official UK military series, this is a substantial reference work rather than a popular narrative. It remains useful for readers interested in British war policy, high command, Allied strategy and the opening years of the conflict, and is particularly valuable for its detailed documentation and folding map material.
