Reviews
'Beginning in 1937 and not in 1939, and focusing on Asia as much as Europe, World War II sets its subject in its proper global and chronological context. Its prose is straightforward and direct, with a clarity that rests on sophisticated arguments and deep reading. Such balance makes it an ideal introductory text, but it is one from which even knowledgeable readers will learn.' Hew Strachan, University of Oxford, 'Evan Mawdsley's new single-volume history of World War II, arguably the Twentieth Century's most terrible war, sets a new standard for scholarship in this vital field. Exploiting an imposing array of fresh archival materials and synthesizing a multitude of recent studies on the subject, Mawdsley redefines the war's basic parameters by including the conflict's oft-neglected but vitally important eastern European and Asiatic dimensions. By doing so he combats the parochialism so pervasive in previous national perspectives on the war and produces a uniquely balanced assessment of the war's multiple theaters and fronts. These qualities ensure that Mawdsley's World War II will likely remain the finest single-volume history of the war for years to come.' David M. Glantz, Mark W. Clark Visiting Professor of History, The Citadel (Military College of South Carolina), 'Mawdsley's comprehensive command of sources, his perceptive analysis, and his vivid presentation make this especially valuable for undergraduates studying the Second World War and military history in general.' Dennis Showalter, Colorado College and author of Hitler's Panzers, 'This objective account of grand strategy of victors and losers in WWII is a direct hit. What emerges is an original thesis, a new insight into the complicated story of the global conflict between 1937 and 1945: factually reliable, cogently argued and concisely written. Magnificent ... A new Weinberg is born.' J8rgen F_rster, University of Freiburg, "Fresh, insightful judgements and well-judged overall balance make this a masterful book. Its effectiveness is enhanced by the use of side panels that convey important factual information about the tools of war... without interrupting the flow of the narrative. In every respect - conception, design, construction and delivery - this is a book that really works". -War in History, John Gooch, 'This objective account of grand strategy of victors and losers in WWII is a direct hit.

Magnificent … A new Weinberg is born.' Jrgen Frster, University of Freiburg, 'It is a rare textbook that is both cutting and new: the book proves that we need to place the start of the Second World War in East Asia in 1937, rather than Europe in 1939 or Russia and Pearl Harbour in 1941. It changes how we write history.' Times Higher Education, 'This objective account of grand strategy of victors and losers in WWII is a direct hit.

Synopsis
This book is a magisterial global history of World War II. Beginning in 1937 with the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Evan Mawdsley shows how the origins of World War II lay in a conflict between the old international order and the new and then traces the globalisation of the conflict as it swept through Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. His primary focus is on the war's military and strategic history though he also examines the political, economic, ideological, and cultural factors which influenced the course of events. The war's consequences are examined too, not only in terms of the defeat of the Axis but also the break-up of colonial empires and the beginning of the Cold War. Accessibly written and well-illustrated with maps and photographs, this compelling new account also includes short studies of the key figures, events and battles that shaped the war., This book is a major global history of the Second World War. Evan Mawdsley shows that this was a battle for supremacy between the old world order and the new and that it was as much an Asian or Pacific war as a European one.
