Max Hastings writes military history and journalism, particularly about the Second World War, the Falklands and twentieth-century conflict. All Hell Let Loose gives a broad global account of the Second World War through soldiers and civilians, while Overlord focuses on the Normandy campaign and Bomber Command examines the Allied air offensive against Germany. Battle for the Falklands, written with Simon Jenkins, combines military and political reporting on the 1982 war. Hastings’s books are narrative, strongly opinionated and packed with individual testimony, placing command decisions beside the experience of people carrying them out. His work is a major route into military history, Second World War campaigns, leadership in war and modern British conflict. Read more Less
