At the beginning of November 1942, it looked as if the Axis powers could still win the Second World War; at the end of that month, it was just a matter of time before they would lose. In between was El Alamein, Guadalcanal, the French North Africa landings, the Japanese retreat in New Guinea, and the Soviet encirclement of the German 6th Army at Stalingrad. It may have been the most important month of the twentieth century. In this hugely innovative and riveting historical marvel, Peter Englund has reduced an epoch-making event to its basic component: the individual experience.

Excellent book but not well suited for audio reading.
Revisado: 02-26-24
The book itself is excellent, but not well-suited for audio. Tracking 39 characters throughout the book was too difficult. The sections between character descriptions cannot be detected on audio; therefore it became confusing to follow. Also, the detailed footnotes in the book were essential to understand the context of the characters’ experiences, but footnotes are not included in audio. I highly recommend having the hard copy or e-copy.
