World War II: A Global History, 6th Edition, provides students with a concise yet thorough textbook examination of the twentieth century's bloodiest conflict. The volume investigates the global factors that shaped the causes, conduct, and consequences of the war.
The chapters alternate between chronological accounts of events in Europe and the Asia-Pacific theater and thematic studies of critical issues. These thematic discussions address technological innovations, brutal regimes, wartime logistics, and the mobilization of civilian home fronts.
Organized with sections and sidebars designed to complement lectures and course assignments, the textbook supports study of the conflict's worldwide impact.
