The answers to these questions will surprise even those who feel that they are experts on the subject. Davies has established himself as a preeminent scholar of World War II . No Simple Victory is an invaluable contribution to twentieth-century history and an illuminating portrait of a conflict that continues to provoke debate.

Very interestingBy Kindle CustomerThis was a well-written; engaging look at a time when women were never going to get the credit the deserved but we're very much the neck moving the head of the major European kings.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Clever ThoroughBy LakePenThis well researched narrative reads like a modern "Tell-all" in the lives of royal houses in the 1200's. It s amazing how families get tangled up ; even back then.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A new takeBy MimiAn interesting take on the period. I have read other books starring the same protagonists and they don't seem to notice that these four queens were sisters. Well written and researched.
