Oxford Companion to World War II Hardcover - 2005

by I. C. Dear (Editor); M. R. Foot (Editor)

From the publisher

From blitzkrieg and blackout to ghettos and Guadalcanal, World War II was a conflict that touched all nations and penetrated all aspects of people's lives. Sixty years after it ended, it still shapes the world we live in today.
When Oxford first published this comprehensive guide to the Second World War, The Economist wrote "it will immediately take its place as the indispensable reference book for students of the Second World War." Now in its third printing, the Companion proves as essential as ever.
With over 1,750 A to Z entries written by more than 140 specialists from both Axis and Allied nations, the Companion provides uniquely worldwide coverage of the war. Every aspect is covered: in-depth surveys of the countries involved in the conflict; politics and strategy; domestic and economic
issues; resistance and intelligence; campaigns and battles; warfare and weapons; wartime leaders and influential people; slogans and slang. Hundreds of easy-to-read maps, charts, and diagrams, plus a full chronology, support the Companion's comprehensive coverage. This is an essential reference for
students, scholars, history buffs, or anyone seeking to learn more about the most tragic, momentous, and influential event in recent history.

First line

Aachen, German city situated close to the Dutch and Belgian borders, the scene of the first major battle fought by *Eisenhower's forces on German soil during the fighting which began the battle for *Germany.
