内容简介

This is the definitive narrative history of the people, politics, and events of the Second World War - the epic conflict that shaped the modern world

From the build-up to the fighting, through to the reverberations still felt in the aftermath, this is a compelling, accessible, and immediate history of the war, perhaps the most complex, frightening, and destructive event in world history.

Discover how deep-seated local fears and hatreds escalated into one vast global conflict that was fought out to the bitter end - from the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party to Pearl Harbor, the D-Day landings, and Hiroshima. And find out how key battles, political and economic forces, individual leaders, and technological advances influenced the course of the war.

Packed with images, including rarely seen images and unforgettable first-person accounts, A Short History of World War II is a uniquely accessible account of history's most devastating conflict.

从积累到战斗，再到后来仍然产生的回响，这是一部引人注目的，可访问的和即时的战争历史，这也许是世界历史上最复杂，最可怕和具破坏性的事件。

发现深切的当地恐惧和仇恨如何升级为一场激烈的全球性冲突，这场冲突一直持续到最后的苦难-从希特勒和纳粹党的崛起到珍珠港，D-Day登陆和广岛。并找出关键战役，政治和经济力量，个人领导人和技术进步如何影响战争进程。

《第二次世界大战简短历史》挤满了图像，包括鲜为人知的图像和令人难忘的第一人称视角，是对历史上最破坏性冲突的独特访问。
