The renowned WWII historian offers a penetrating analysis of the
ethical dilemmas faced by leaders and ordinary soldiers in this
“powerful, gripping book” (Washington Times). In Moral Combat,
Michael Burleigh delivers a brilliant new examination of the
day-to-day moral crises underpinning the momentous conflicts of the
Second World War. A magisterial counterpart to his award-winning and
internationally bestselling The Third Reich, winner of the Samuel
Johnson prize, this work offers a unique look at “not just the war
planners faced with the prospect of bombing Dresden or the atrocities
of the Holocaust, but also the individuals working at the coalface of
war, killing or murdering, resisting or collaborating” (The Times,
UK). “Magnificent . . . Seldom has a study of the past combined
such erudition with such exuberance.” —The Guardian, UK “No-one
with an interest in the Second World War should be without this book;
and indeed nor should anyone who cares about how our world has come
about.” —The Daily Telegraph, UK
