When James Holland’s The Rise of Germany, the first volume in his War in the West trilogy, ended, the Nazi war machine looked to be unstoppable. In The Allies Strike Back, while Germany’s invasion of Russia unfolds in the east, in the west, the Americans formally enter the war, defeat Rommel in North Africa, and the bombing of Germany escalates, aiming to destroy Nazi industry and crush civilian morale. A book signing will follow the program.
