The Oxford Companion to World War II
The Oxford Companion to World War II

Comprehensive guide to WWII's complexities and impacts.

If you're a history buff or just curious about the vast tapestry of World War II, this companion is an indispensable resource. It's more than dates and battles; it dives into the nuanced social dynamics and global reverberations of the conflict. The visuals complement the rich, detailed narratives, giving you a multi-dimensional perspective that's as educational as it is fascinating.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Despite Korea, despite Vietnam, despite a dozen smaller conflicts, a generation of Americans refers to World War II simply as "the War." Indeed, there has been nothing like it in human history—a single war that spanned three continents—a war which saw more men and women under arms, more deaths, and more destruction than any other. Now Oxford University Press provides the definitive one-volume reference to this cataclysmic event. The Oxford Companion to World War II brings together an international team of 140 experts to cover every aspect of the conduct and experience of the conflict, from grand strategic decision-making to the struggles of daily life. More than 1,700 entries—ranging from brief identifications to in-depth articles on complex subjects—bring the far-flung elements and events of the war into focus. Here are essays on overarching themes and broad topics, such as the origins of the war, diplomacy, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, and the Final Solution. Military campaigns and battles, of course, receive extensive entries including the Fall of France, Operation Barbarossa, and the Battle of Midway, as well as such smaller events as the sinking of the Scharnhorst and the fall of Wake Island. Scores of analytical biographies range from the national leaders—Hitler, Stalin, Tojo, Roosevelt, Churchill—to an array of military and political figures, from Dietrich Bonhoeffer to Ho Chi
