Publisher's Summary
The complete magisterial history of the greatest and most terrible event in history, from one of the finest historians of the Second World War. This shows the impact of war upon hundreds of millions of people around the world - soldiers, sailors and airmen; housewives, farm workers and children.
Reflecting Max Hastings's 35 years of research on World War II, All Hell Let Loose describes the course of events, but focuses chiefly upon human experience. There are vivid descriptions of the tragedies and triumphs of a host of ordinary people, in uniform and out of it, in an 'everyman's story'.
This is now the entire audiobook, not in two parts.

Phenomenal storytelling of our darkest days
What a brilliant overview of WW2 - a detailed study of the world-wide nature of the war. The follies of leaders, the bravery of partisans, the enormous depths to which ordinary men and women can sink. All told with even-handednesss and with no gilding of the lily. Thankyou Max Hastings for the best and most enthralling telling of the story I have so far come across.

Outstanding
Amazing chunk of history, brillantly written and wonderfully spoken.
So interesting and captivated me, very long but a must stay to the end.
We should all understand what really happened in World War 2.

Good overview of the conflict.
Filled in a lot of missing pieces for me but bogged down about 2/3rds of the way through. I gave it a break for a while but enjoyed it once I took it up again.

Max Hastings must be the foremost expert on WW2 history. Bleak but that’s the nature of total war.

Excellent.
Very heavy at times, but it’s important to acknowledge. A very concise account of a dark time in human history.
