La memoria colectiva que es la historia se nos aparece hoy mucho menos como el mero relato de lo ocurrido en el pasado que como un instrumento de analisis del presente. Al termino de un siglo de expectativas fallidas, y ante un futuro incierto, necesitamos revisar criticamente esta memoria y asentaria sobre nuevas bases de conocimiento. Mas reciente aun que Contrastes, Memoria/Critica se propone publicar estudios sobre los grandes problemas del pasado inmediato y sobre acontecimientos que siguen pesando sobre nuestras vidas. Se echaba en falta una vision global que sintetizase los innumerables estudios publicados tras el final de la segunda guerra mundial, y esa ha sido la tarea a la que han dedicado decadas de trabajo los profesores Murray y Millett, dos de los maximos especialistas mundiales en el campo de la historia militar. El resultado es una soberbia vision de conjunto que servira de obra de referencia para los estudiosos, pero que ha sido concebida, ante todo, pensando en el lector medio.

Seller's Description:
Very good in Good jacket. In Spanish. 736 pages. Illustrations. Appendices. Bibliography, Indices. DJ dinged. Williamson Murray is an American historian. He has authored works on history and strategic studies, and served as an editor on other projects. In 1977 he joined Ohio State University as a military and diplomatic historian. He was awarded the Alumni Distinguished Teaching Award in 1987. He retired in 1995 as a professor emeritus of history. Allan R. Millett is a historian and a retired colonel in U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. He served for 37 years in the history department at Ohio State University. He holds the Stephen E. Ambrose Professorship at the University of New Orleans and is also the director of the Eisenhower Center for American Studies. In 2004, Millett was named the recipient of the Samuel Eliot Morison Prize from the Society for Military History for lifetime achievement. He received the Pritzker Award for Lifetime Achievement in Military Writing from the Pritzker Military Museum & Library in 2008. This is a unique and powerful operational history of the Second World War that tells the full story of battle on land, on sea, and in the air. Williamson Murray and Allan R. Millett analyze the operations and tactics that defined the conduct of the war in both the European and Pacific Theaters. Moving between the war room and the battlefield, we see how strategies were crafted and revised, and how the multitudes of combat troops struggled to discharge their orders. The authors present incisive portraits of the military leaders, demonstrating the ambiguities they faced, the opportunities they took, and those they missed. We see the relationship between the actual operations of the war and their political and moral implications. "A War To Be Won" is the culmination of decades of research by two premier military historians. It provides a realistic assessment of the Axis accomplishments and failures. It is the essential military history of World War II--from the Sino-Japanese War in 1937 to Japan's surrender in 1945.
