Description: "From the battlefields to the corridors of power, from the barracks to the home front, The concise encyclopedia of World War II provides a complete portrait of the war. Entries not only address major battles and campaigns, but political, economic and cultural issues as well, plus brief portraits illustrate the conflict's commanding personalities. Its global perspective notably corrects the usual Western focus of World War II studies, incorporating a wealth of information on often underreported topics such as the Eastern Front and the Sino-Japanese War"--Page 4 of cover.
