"World War II was the largest and most devastating conflict in recorded human history. The nations involved fought a total war on virtually every continent and ocean, in the air and underwater as well as on land and the seas. The war was fought against civilians as well as their uniformed armed forces. The result was a staggering and unprecedented death toll of approximately 60 million people. In the end, the war gave birth to a new international order that would survive into the 21st century. Equally important, the total war effort transformed the economy, politics and culture of almost every society involved.This volume brings together first-hand accounts from leaders, soldiers, and civilians engaged in the war effort, for or against it."--Provided by publisher.
