Blitzkrieg was a new kind of war. Devised by Hitler and fielled by the numbing terror of Panzer tanks and massive propaganda, Blitzkrieg was unprecedented in its shattering effect on the armies of Europe. From the rise of Hitler out of the ashes of a demoralized Germany, to the riddle of the flawed victory at Dunkirk, Len Deighton's Blitzkrieg tells the compelling story of Hitler's triumph and Europe’s darkest hour of lightning war.
