'...There are only two possibilities: either Berlin will be capital of the world or Washington' - Adolf Hitler. November 1941 The Second World War can not be fully understood unless it is seen for what it was: a struggle for world domination between the United States and Nazi Germany. Based on both Allied and German sources, Toughill's firsthand research examines that rivalry and for the first time provides convincing answers to many of the questions about the war which have, until now, remained unanswered: Why did Hitler declare war on the United States?
