World War II
The Second World War was the first total war—Conducted on a huge scale, producing shattering scientific and technical advances, involving whole populations including civilians and resulting in an aftermath of enormous change in the political structure of the world. The very vastness of the phenomenon has inevitably produced a mass of writing and comment, much of it overspecialised or vulgarly simplified as far as the general reader is concerned. None of it encompasses the whole drama in an easily accessible form. World War II written by one of the world's greatest acknowledged experts on the subject, succeeds in encompassing for the first time within a single volume the entire scale of the Second World War, covering principal events and personalities, fluently narrating its course from 1 939 to the immediate postwar period and presenting a lucid account of the all-important political background. In addition, Henri Michel gives a clear picture of the aftermath of the war and indicates the almost cataclysmic influence it had on political boundaries and postwar technology. Maps and photographs further reinforce the clarity of the author's approach. The result is a study of unique brevity and authority which will be an invaluable guide to the reader who is looking for an intelligently condensed version of all the essential aspects of World War II, and will be equally welcomed by those familiar with some of its aspects and requiring a readily accessible balanced general view of the event.
