World War II Summary

World War II: A Short History by Michael J. Lyons

For courses on World War II, Military History, and 20th Century Europe.

Highly regarded for its briefer clarification of the complexities of World War II, the book illuminates the origins, course, and long-range effects of the war. It provides a balanced account that analyzes both the European and Pacific theaters of operations and the connections between them. The Fourth Edition incorporates new material from the latest literature, offering modified conclusions on key topics and expanding coverage throughout.
