Oxford illustrated history of World War II
- Oxford Oxford University Press 2015
- x, 492p, 16 unnumbered pages of plates illustrations (some colour), maps 26 cm
Includes bibliography (pages [455]-468) and index.
A team of leading historians reassesses the conflict for a new generation, exploring the course of the war not just in terms of the Allied response but also from the view-point of the Axis aggressor states. Under Richard Overy's expert editorial guidance, the contributions take us from the genesis of war, through the action in the major theatres of conflict by land, sea, and air, to assessments of fighting power and military and technical innovation, the economics of total war, the culture and propaganda of war, and the experience of war (and genocide) for both combatants and civilians, concluding with an account of the transition from World War to Cold War in the late 1940s. Together, they provide a stimulating and thought-provoking new interpretation of one of the most terrible yet fascinating episodes in world history.
