Sobre IBD

In The War We Almost Lost the author explains how badly we were prepared for war in 1941. He discusses the areas in which we could have done much better and how the responsibility could have been shared by many politicians and military leaders.The author writes about mistakes and blunders as well as brilliant moves made during the war by both sides that allowed us to win, but almost cost us victory. Better planning and execution by the Axis countries could have had disastrous effects on the Allies. But in the end, through some good design, lucky breaks and bad-decision making by our enemies, we rallied and came through the terrible war with flying colors led by the “Greatest Generation” of all times.
