Lukacs Describes Hitler Decisions Of A Few People Churchill

One of these concepts is that Lukacs wants the reader to honestly consider just how close the Allies came to losing the war. Another of these notions is the idea that the main difference between Churchill and Hitler concerned nationalism ve...
