World War II in Europe was very like a Greek tragedy, wherein the elements of disaster are present before the play begins,and the tragedy is writ all the larger because of the disaster's inevitability. The story of the war, told through the maps of Richard Natkiel in this volume, are signposts for the historian of human folly.In the end,Germany and Italy were destroyed,along with much of Europe. With the devastation came the inevitable collapse of both the impoverished British Empire and centuries of European hegemony in the world.
