Note:"The most devastating war in human history continues to generate substantial interest, and though much has been written on the subject, the history of the Second World War is still very much a work in progress. The availability of new sources and innovative approaches offer new perspectives on key turning points in the origins, course, and consequences of the conflict."-- Provided by publisher.
