二战爆发前十天
(uk) Richard Overy
Could World War II actually be avoided? Everyone is intentionally preventing the war, but unintentionally promoting it! Immerse yourself in the thrilling and unexpected events on the eve of World War II! See how leaders of various countries missed the key opportunity to avoid World War II! An important scholar of modern British history and winner of four prestigious historical awards, he vividly interprets the thrilling and fierce game between the leaders of Britain, France and Germany on the eve of World War II and the erratic historical trend. Why did Hitler abandon his planned attack on Poland on August 26, 1939? Why was the chance of reconciliation between Germany and the West once in the hands of a Swedish businessman? Why did Britain's pre-war ultimatum to Germany not specify a date for reply? Why did Britain and France delay declaring war on Germany two days after the blitz against Poland? This unusually sober, concise and persuasive work tells the story of the highly dramatic pre-war years from the signing of the Soviet-German Pact to the declaration of war by Britain and France on Germany within ten days.

二战新史：鲜血与废墟中的世界（1931—1945）
(uk) Richard Overy
On September 18, 1931, Japan caused the September 18th Incident and began to invade Northeast China. This was not only the starting point of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japan, but also the prelude to a new world war. In 1935, Italy invaded Ethiopia. In 1936, Germany entered the Rhineland Demilitarized Zone. In 1939, Germany invaded Poland, and Britain and France declared war on Germany. Subsequently, the Soviet Union and the United States were also involved in the war one after another, and the war spread to remote areas such as the Aleutian Islands in the North Pacific and Madagascar in the southern Indian Ocean. The war required mobilization. More than 100 million people around the world were mobilized to join the army, and on the home front, even more people were mobilized to become workers in arsenals, rescuers in the civil defense system, and guerrillas behind enemy lines. The war did not end until September 1945. The three great empires of Germany, Italy and Japan were buried. The attempts of Britain, France and other countries to rebuild their empires also failed. National liberation movements in Asia, Africa and Latin America were in full swing. Amid the blood and ruins, the Western colonial order that had dominated the world for more than 500 years finally collapsed. Modern nation-states such as China and India emerged one after another. The world order has been greatly changed.
