Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 1945. World War II is now in its sixth agonizing year. In Europe, the Allies are closing in on Hitler's horrific Third Reich, but victory remains elusive. In the Pacific, US forces are locked in a grinding island-by-island struggle against Imperial Japan.Summoned from the battlefields of Europe, veteran tactical analyst Eleanor Shaux finds herself unexpectedly thrust into the greatest secret of the war: the Manhattan Project. Agonizing decisions must be made about the dangerous new weapon that could end the war in both theaters in a single stroke.

No one doubts that Germany will lose the war in Europe, but who will win it The future of the world hangs in the balance as the war reaches its shattering climax in a time of triumph and tragedy. Which fate awaits Eleanor.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 1944. The Allies prepare for the largest military operation of World War II: the invasion of Normandy. Two German armies stand ready to hurl them back into the sea. As D-Day approaches, the balance of power in Europe teeters on a knife's edge.After undergoing grueling special forces training in preparation for the mission, celebrated RAF pilot Johnnie Shaux arrives in Normandy-not in the sky, but on one of the first landing crafts, dispatched to call in air support for the embattled Allied soldiers as they storm the beaches. Meanwhile, tactical military analyst Eleanor Shaux follows the events from Eisenhower's headquarters back in England, vividly aware of von Moltke's dictum: 'No plan survives first contact with the enemy.'As the battered and bruised Allies fight their way toward Germany, Hitler unleashes his new tools of destruction-the V1 'buzzbomb' and the V2 rocket. While Johnnie joins the RAF's risky efforts to paralyze Hitler's weapons, the Allies launch the ill-fated airborne Operation Market Garden-against Eleanor's advice-deep in enemy-held territory.As 1944 draws to a close, the Nazis engage the Allied armies in a final desperate attempt to push them back in the Battle of the Bulge. And above the battlefield, Johnnie must contend with a game-changing, deadly threat: the world's first operational jet fighter.In the fifth book of the award-winning Breaking Point series, John Rhodes continues the story of fighter pilot Johnnie Shaux and military strategist Eleanor Shaux with another thrilling wartime military adventure.…
