Publisher Description
The newest immensely original undertaking from the historian who gave us the defining two-volume portrait of Hitler, Fateful Choices puts Ian Kershaw's analytical and storytelling gifts on dazzling display. From May 1940 to December 1941, the leaders of the world's six major powers made a series of related decisions that determined the final outcome of World War II and shaped the course of human destiny. As the author examines the connected stories of these profound choices, he restores a sense of drama and contingency to this pivotal moment, producing one of the freshest, most important books on World War II in years' one with powerful contemporary relevance.

Seriously flawed copy
I would really like to read this book, but there are too many problems. I don’t know if it’s this copy or what. The table of contents has four entries, which list the maps at the beginning of the book. No other entries at all. Apparently there is only one large chapter of over 1700 pages as shown at the bottom of each page. I got to about page 50. There were several numbered foot notes, but they are just numbers and not “clickable”, so they don’t take you anywhere.
Apple: please investigate and get this fixed!
