Query: Analytical history at its best...

Other reviewers have commented on Overy's thesis, so no need to repeat. I wanted to note the command of analytical history, as opposed to descriptive history, which is the heart of this extremely well written book. The Allies, held together by self-interest and the wish to destroy Hitlerism, won for a variety of reasons (production capacity, organizational skill, technical inventiveness), and Overy emphasizes the motivational and moral cause that called each country's peoples together. These and other conclusions stem from Overy's command of the analytical tools of the historian. Well done!
