- The Cambridge History of the Second World War is an authoritative new account of the conflict that shaped the latter half of the twentieth century and that continues to have a significant impact on our world. Its 65 essays, contributed by a team of leading international historians, go beyond an account of the events to offer a global analysis of all aspects of the war (e.g. political, sociological, economic and cultural as well as military) and to examine its enduring legacy. It will therefore be of value to anyone interested in the impact of the conflict in a variety of areas – particularly scholars of International Relations, Economics, the Arts and cultural studies, as well as for Modern Historians.
