Features: When the world had not yet fully recovered from the fear and catastrophic consequences of the Second World War—the Great Depression—a greater war disaster occurred. This time, everything was so stark and unhidden. Hitler's Third Reich threatened to dominate all the countries in Europe, and Japan's aggressive ambitions in Asia became increasingly exposed. This book not only presents a panoramic view of the U.S. war efforts in Europe and the Pacific, from Pearl Harbor to the D-Day landings, to the Japanese surrender on the U.S. battleship Missouri, but also adds many details, such as the impact of the Spanish Civil War on World War II and the influence of U.S. land weapons in land and sea warfare.
