  • ""Far from being a blow-by-blow account, the book shows how the Second World War can only be understood by taking all the contributing factors--military, economic and social, among others--into account. In addition to the existing wealth of useful supplementary material, this edition has been updated to include a colour illustration section and, for readers interested in learning more, a detailed narrative guide to published historical literature. Admirably succinct yet academically rich, this is the essential introduction to the Second World War in the West."--Page 4 of cover."
