Europe at War follows the explosive opening phase of the Second World War, from Germany's invasion of Poland to Britain's survival under the Blitz. This compelling volume traces the collapse of European security, the rise of Blitzkrieg, the fall of Denmark, Norway, the Low Countries, and France, and the dramatic evacuation at Dunkirk. It also explores the tragedy of Vichy France, the moral crisis of collaboration, and Britain's lonely stand against Nazi Germany. Moreover, this second book brings readers into the decisive months when Europe was transformed by conquest, resistance, fear, and endurance.
