Description Bestselling historian Andrew Nagorski takes a fresh look at the decisive Year 1941, when Hitler\'s miscalculations and policy of terror propelled Churchill, FDR, and Stalin into a powerful new alliance that defeated Nazi Germany. 1941 was a Year that forever defined our world..
It also reveals how 1941 set the Holocaust in motion, and presaged the postwar division of Europe, triggering the Cold War.
The Year Germany Lost the War is a stunning examination of unbridled megalomania versus determined leadership.
Nagorski illuminates the actions of the major characters of this pivotal Year as never before.
By then, Germany was doomed to defeat.
Britain emerged with two powerful new allies--Russia and the United States.
Hitler had repeatedly gambled on escalation and lost: by invading the Soviet Union and committing a series of disastrous military blunders; by making mass murder and terror his weapons of choice, and by rushing to declare war on the United States after Japan\'s attack on Pearl Harbor.
By the end of 1941, all that changed.
Hitler was confident that his aim of total victory was within reach.
Stalin was observing the terms of the Nazi-Soviet Pact, and Roosevelt was vowing to keep the United States out of the war.
Churchill\'s Britain was an isolated holdout against the Nazi tide, but German bombers were attacking its cities and German U-boats were attacking its ships.
In early 1941, Hitler\'s armies ruled most of Europe.
