Lightning War: Blitzkrieg in the West, 1940 recounts the dramatic German defeat of Allied forces in northern France and the Low Countries during the 1940 campaign. Covering the campaign as a whole, it situates the Battle of France and the invasions of the Low Countries within the early European theater, tracing German blitzkrieg strategy, the collapse of French resistance, the British Expeditionary Force withdrawal and the Dunkirk evacuation, and the allied high command’s choices; the narrative examines the campaign from multiple perspectives—including French, British, German and other involved nations—and connects operational history to prewar diplomacy and interwar military doctrine.

New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
