A comprehensive review of World War II that offers a global-level
analysis Written for academics and students of history, World War
II in Global Perspective, 1931-1953 presents a dynamic and global
account of the historical events prior to, during, and after World
War II. The author--a noted expert on the topic--explores the main
theaters of the war and discusses the connections between them. He
also examines the impact of the war on areas of the world that are
often neglected in historical accounts, including Latin America,
sub-Saharan Africa, and the so-called 'neutral' countries. This
comprehensive text clearly shows how in the struggle against the
Axis powers, the United States replaced Britain as the global
superpower. The author discusses the Japanese invasion of Manchuria
in 1931 and the Korean War (1950-1953) and argues that the core
years of the war (1939-1945) cannot be understood without
considering the turbulent events that framed them. The text puts
World War II in context as a series of large regional conflicts
that intersected and overlapped, finally emerging as a genuine
"world war" with the formal entry of the United States in late
1941. This vital text: Offers a comprehensive review of World War
II that frames it in a global context Gives weight to the economic
and political developments of the war Provides a robust account of
the main military campaigns Contains illustrations and maps that
themselves highlight little-known aspects of the global war
