Summary

World War II was an event that embroiled nearly half of the world's countries, and the events that played out permanently changed the course of world history and have ramifications even today. Whilst many books explain the events of World War II, this book focuses on why World War II occurred in the first place. From the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations to the Great Depression and the militaristic nature of specific countries—all the most important factors are included here in a concise manner, from both an ultimate and historical context, to Nazi Germany's incremental invasions that immediately preceded the outbreak of war, up to the behavior of Hitler and the fact his expansionist desires simply could not appeased.

packed full of information

I know a lot about the social implications of WW2, but often wondered about the political implications of how it came to be. Having now listened to this excellent historical summary, I feel more enlightened. Well laid out and packed full of information. I look forward to the next book by this author. Highly recommend.

Very useful revision

I’m sure this is probably an exam question on many a paper, and therefore, this excellently constructed, easy to follow piece of work would be a perfect basis.
