About this listen
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.

The Personal Side Of War
This is a riveting history of WW2, but with a difference. Max Hastings takes us into the family home, inside the turret of the tank, into the conference rooms of the generals, and tells the story from a personal perspective. How it affected the ordinary person - and the extraordinary person - and adds a hitherto almost forgotten emotional value to that infamous conflict. Max Hastings is the master of war history, and this particular story is narrated exceptionally well. Five stars all the way through.

The breadth of research and brilliant writing makes this a must read.
Max Hastings at his best in this supreme example of bottom up history. The author is at the top of his game.

Amazing.
Incredibly well read this book has given me a new perspective on several aspects of the war.
It’s not an easy listen, there are several moments in which the horror of the war, especially lesser known parts, can be very moving.
Would strongly recommend.

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

An awe inspiring chronology of mans inhumanity to man!
Max Hastings has excelled with this comprehensive treatise on privations suffered by all peoples, including non combatants, as a consequence of World War 2. Well written and beautifully read.
