The Fight of Their Lives: A 21st Century Primer on World War II is a riveting tale of the peril and resiliency that marked the darkest chapter in human history, including the rise of antisemitism and the Holocaust, culminating in the deaths of six million Jews and one-sixth of Poland’s pre-war population.
From blood-soaked clashes across farm fields and jungle islands to the code rooms and factory floors that powered the Allies to final victory, this absorbing narrative fully documents the seismic struggle that claimed more than sixty million lives. Interspersed throughout the book are profiles of iconic leaders and antagonists; unique perspectives from participants on both sides; and vignettes about those honored for their extraordinary courage and sacrifice. Designed to appeal to all audiences, The Fight of Their Lives is a timely read, from the legacies that remain supremely relevant today, to the lessons humanity cannot afford to learn again.
