I’d backed the game eagerly awaited the time when I would be able to play it. Platforms: PC Steam – (Coming to PS5 & Xbox Series X/S late 2021)īack in October 2017 the Kickstarter for Hell Let Loose successfully wrapped. The brutal combat, detailed maps and engaging gameplay have made it one of my favourite FPS games. Max Hastings employs the technique which has made many of his previous books best-sellers, combining top-down analysis and bottom-up testimony to explore the meaning of this vast conflict both for its participants and for posterity.After around 2 years in Early Access Hell Let Loose has reached its full release date and it’s better than ever. This is ‘everyman’s story’, an attempt to answer the question: ‘What was the Second World War like?’, and also an overview of the big picture. Some of Hastings’s insights and judgements will surprise students of the conflict, while there are vivid descriptions of the tragedies and triumphs of a host of ordinary people, in uniform and out of it.
This magisterial book ranges across a vast canvas, from the Russian front, where more than 90% of all German soldiers who perished met their fate, to the agony of Poland amid the September 1939 Nazi invasion, and the 1943 Bengal famine, in which at least a million people died under British rule – and British neglect. ‘Unquestionably the best single-volume history of the war ever written’ SUNDAY TIMES.Īll Hell Let Loose reflects Max Hastings’s thirty-five years of research on World War II, and describes not just the course of events, but an epic tale of human experience, from campaign to campaign, continent to continent. A book which shows the impact of war upon hundreds of millions of people around the world – soldiers, sailors and airmen housewives, farm workers and children. A magisterial history of the greatest and most terrible event in history, from one of the finest historians of the Second World War.
