　　This is a magisterial new global history of World War II.

Beginning in 1937 with the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Evan

Mawdsley shows how the origins of World War II lay in a conflict

between the old international order and the new and then traces the

globalisation of the conflict as it swept through Asia, Europe, and

the Middle East. His primary focus is on the war's military and

strategic history though he 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 the break-up of colonial empires

and the beginning of the Cold War. Accessibly written and

well-illustrated with maps and photographs, this compelling new

account also includes short studies of the key figures, events and

battles that shaped the war.

· Takes a global approach to the history of the Second World War,

integrating events in Asia and the Pacific, India, North Africa,

Europe, Russia and America · Sets the war within a new

chronological framework tracing the escalation of the conflict from

the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937 · Features

extensive maps and illustrations, text boxes outlining key

individuals, events, and themes, timelines at the start of each

chapter, suggestions for further reading and links to relevant

websites
