Decisiones trascendentales

de Dunquerque a Pearl Harbour (1940-1941)

Kershaw, Ian

What would have happened if Hitler had faced his war without the goal of exterminating the European Jewish population?Hitler decides to attack the Soviet Union, Japan decides to seize the "Golden Opportunity", Mussolini decides to keep his share of the loot, Roosevelt decides to help Britain, Stalin decides to trust Hitler, Roosevelt decides to go to war without a formal declaration, Japan decides to go to war, Hitler decides to declare war on the US. Kershaw analyzes the motives, the different personalities at odds, and the consequences of all decisions for the lives of millions of human beings. Likewise, he analyzes the forces that led leaders to act, but also the importance of particular personalities. Churchill, fighting for the catastrophe of France; Hitler ordering the invasion of the USSR, despite Germany's failure to defeat Britain; Stalin trusting Hitler and leaving his country open to Operation Barbarosa; Roosevelt accepting the revolutionary idea that the lend-lease could keep Britain in the war; the Japanese high command choosing to attack the US even knowing it was a mistake. This work looks into the terrible heart of the modern age and tries to understand the decisions that changed or ended the lives of millions of people.
