About this audiobook
This is a revised and updated edition of Evan Mawdsley's acclaimed global history of World War II. Beginning with the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Evan Mawdsley shows how the war's origins lay in a conflict between the old international order and the new and traces its globalization as it swept through Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The primary focus is on the war's military and strategic history, though the book also examines the political, economic, ideological, and cultural factors which influenced the course of events. The war's consequences are examined too, not only in terms of the defeat of the Axis but also of the break-up of colonial empires and the beginning of the Cold War. Accessibly written, the book also includes insightful short studies of the figures, events, and battles that shaped the war.
