Churchill's Britain was an isolated holdout against the Nazi tide, but German bombers were attacking its cities and German U-boats were attacking its ships. Stalin was observing the terms of the Nazi-Soviet Pact, and Roosevelt was vowing to keep the United States out of the war. Hitler was confident that his aim of total victory was within reach. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \\By the end of 1941, all that changed. Hitler had repeatedly gambled on escalation and lost: by invading the Soviet Union and committing a series of disastrous military blunders; by making mass murder and terror his weapons of choice, and by rushing to declare war on the United States after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Britain emerged with two powerful new allies--Russia and the United States. By then, Germany was doomed to defeat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Nagorski illuminates the actions of the major characters of this pivotal year as never before. \u003ci\u003e1941: The Year Germany Lost the War\u003c\/i\u003e is a stunning examination of unbridled megalomania versus determined leadership. It also reveals how 1941 set the Holocaust in motion, and presaged the postwar division of Europe, triggering the Cold War. 1941 was a year that forever defined our world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501181115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2019 pg. 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2019 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Andrew Nagorski","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36654880391324,"sku":"9781501181115","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_96128d6a-5de7-443c-a84c-430c503dc4c9.jpg?v=1603884294","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/1941-the-year-germany-lost-the-war-9781501181115","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
