Fully revised and restructured, the sixth edition of World War II: A Global History offers students a concise and yet thorough textbook that examines history’s bloodiest conflict.

This textbook includes the following features:

A lively narrative of facts, events, people, and ideas that incorporates thoughtful analysis
New material and restructured content on global factors that affected the causes, conduct, and consequences of World War II
Balanced pace that does not bog readers down in too many details yet gives them sufficient depth and breadth for context
Chapters, sections, and sidebars arranged in ways that can complement lectures and assignments
Fifty new photographs that illustrate the human condition and weaponry during World War II.
