It is devoted to the Second World War, which many scholars regard as the paradigmatic instance of total war. In considering the validity of this proposition, the authors address a broad range of analytical problems that this vast conflict posed in the arenas of Europe and Asia. They analyze modes of combat, war aims, the mobilization of economies and societies, occupation regimes, the vulnerability of noncombatants, and the legal and moral issues raised by the industrialized warfare of the mid-twentieth century. The volume will be of interest to all students of war and society in the modern era.Publications of the German Historical Institute.World War, 1939-1945Total warWorld War, 1939-1945.Total war.940.53Chickering Roger1942-327265Forster Stig1759250Greiner Bernd1759251German Historical Institute (Washington, D.C.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811938003321A world at total war4197653UNINA
