World in Peril - by Al Murray (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

From Dunkirk to Barbarossa, the war on China to Stalingrad, bestselling author James Holland and award-winning comedian Al Murray will capture readers with the most up to date and pioneering academic research on a host of WWII-related topics.

Their hugely successful podcast of the same name delves into forgotten, hidden and little explained aspects of the war. The podcast has blown the subject wide open and introduced far more complex and detailed ways of looking at this truly global conflict.

WE HAVE WAYS OF MAKING YOU TALK is the first book to tie-in with the podcast and will follow a number of the podcast's most successful series.
