| book description |

From the most fascinating characters to the bloodiest battles and decisive turning points of the Second World War, We Have Ways of Making You Talk: New Histories of The Second World War brings the energy and insight of James Holland and Al Murray's chart-topping podcast to the page. From El Alamein to Barbarossa, from the war in China to the ruins of Stalingrad, this book draws on the latest pioneering academic research to rethink how the war was fought - and why it unfolded the way it did. This is World War II as you haven't read it before: vivid, forensic and alive with debate. Composed from James and Al's detailed show notes, this is essential reading for anyone who thinks they know the Second World War - and for those who want to know it better. Experience the darkest hours and narrow escapes of Dunkirk, the perilous Arctic convoys of the North Cape, the devastation of Hamburg, and discover the one thing that genuinely terrified Winston Churchill. As with the podcast, the focus is on the overlooked, the misunderstood and the rarely told - the details that change how we understand the conflict as a whole. Composed from James and Al's detailed show notes, this is essential reading for anyone who thinks they know the Second World War - and for those who want to know it better.
