An accessible and authoritative introduction to Blitzkrieg for adult readers

Part of the new Ladybird Expert series, Blitzkrieg is an accessible, insightful and authoritative account of the fall of Europe through the use of one of the most successful military strategies in modern warfare.

Historian, author and broadcaster James Holland draws on the latest research and interviews with participants to bring colour, detail and a fresh perspective to the story.

Inside, you'll discover how tactics, organisation and new technologies were brought to bear, about the different challenges faced by both the Axis and the Allies, and, above all, the skill, bravery and endurance of those engaged in a contest that was of critical importance to the outcome of the war.

Praise for Blitzkrieg: Book 1 of the Ladybird Expert History of the Second World War

Shines a light on some of the darkest and most dramatic moments of the six-year conflict.

Daily Mail

The artwork is gloriously retro, echoing the original Ladybird house style but containing completely up to date information.
