牛津通识读本：第二次世界大战（中文版）
(germany) Gerhard L. Weinberg
The huge loss of life and material destruction caused by the First World War led people to pray that such a disaster would never happen again. Yet how could this happen when World War II caused twice as many deaths and destruction as the previous war? In this book, Gerhard L. Weinberg introduces the origins and process of World War II as well as the impact of the war on the participants and ordinary citizens who experienced the war. Starting from the gap between the two world wars and the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, he analyzes the progress of the war by examining key events including the Battle of Poland, the Battle of France, Operation Barbarossa, the expansion of Japan's war with China, the development of the rear front, and the Allied victory in 1944-1945. Discussing the costs and effects of war, Weinberg concludes: World War II left a lasting mark on today's society.
