{"product_id":"the-storm-of-war-andrew-roberts","title":"The Storm of War — Andrew Roberts","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoberts examines the Second World War through the question of why Germany lost — not, as is commonly assumed, simply because it was outnumbered and outproduced, but because Hitler's ideological commitments overrode military logic at crucial moments. The book is a study in the relationship between ideology and strategy: in how a particular worldview — racist, social-Darwinist, contemptuous of military professionalism — systematically undermined Germany's considerable military capacity. Roberts is more interested in explaining defeat than in celebrating victory, which makes this an unusually rigorous account.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"epoch-endorsement\"\u003e'Roberts writes military history with the clarity, pace and authority of the very best practitioners.
