A World at Arms: A Global History of World War II Paperback - 1995

by Gerhard L. Weinberg


From the publisher

This is the first general history of World War II to be based both on the existing literature and on extensive work in British, American and German archives. It covers all the theaters of war, the weaponry used, and developments on the home front. Taking a global perspective, the work deals with all belligerents and relates events in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, and the Pacific to each other. The role of diplomacy and strategy, of intelligence and espionage, and the impact of war upon society are all dealt with, often on the basis of hitherto unknown material. New light is shed on the actions of great and small powers and on topics ranging from the beginning of the war to the dropping of the atomic bombs; the titanic battles on the Eastern Front are fitted into the war as a whole; the killing of six million Jews and millions of others is placed into context; and the fighting at sea and in the air is included in a coherent view of the great conflict.

First line

When a German warship opened fire on the Polish garrison in the special area reserved for them within the Free City of Gdansk (Danzig)-and German troops and airplanes attacked Poland-a terrible conflict began that was quickly called "The Second World War."
