a short history of world war ii
p despite the numerous books on world war ii until now there has been no one volume survey that was both objective and comprehensive . previous volumes have usually been written from an exclusively british or american point of view or have ignored the important causes and consequences of the war . p a short history of world war ii is essentially a military history but it reaches from the peace settlements of world war i to the drastically altered postwar world of the late 1940s . lucidly written and eminently readable it is factual and accurate enough to satisfy professional historians . a short history of world war ii will appeal equally to the general reader the veteran who fought in the war and the student interested in understanding the contemporary political world .
