War is often described as an extension of politics by violent
means. With contributions from twenty-eight eminent historians,
Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War examines
the relationship between ideology and politics in the war's
origins, dynamics and consequences. Part I examines the ideologies
of the combatants and shows how the war can be understood as a
struggle of words, ideas and values with the rival powers
expressing divergent claims to justice and controlling news from
the front in order to sustain moral and influence international
opinion. Part II looks at politics from the perspective of pre-war
and wartime diplomacy as well as examining the way in which
neutrals were treated and behaved. The volume concludes by
assessing the impact of states, politics and ideology on the fate
of individuals as occupied and liberated peoples, collaborators and
resistors, and as British and French colonial subjects.
