Sommario/riassunto

Offering readers a ready-reference portrait of one of the twentieth century's most tumultuous decades, this is a historical dictionary devoted exclusively to the 1940. In nearly 600 concise entries, the volume defines a historical figure, institution, or event, and then points readers to three sources that treat the subject in depth.
