There are probably more books written about the
Second World War than about any other topic in History, so it is often difficult to find a new angle on this epic conflict. Journalist and military historian Max Hastings has tried to look at some lesser studied aspects of the war in his new book
"All Hell Let Loose: The World at War 1939-45". For a taster of the book, listen to the excellent
BBC History Extra podcast that can be heard via this
link (just look for the podcast dated Oct 21st to listen or download).
