Long description:

This collection of essays, written by authors of different nationalities, explores the experiences of the countries that were not numbered among the Second World War?s major belligerents, including colonies, 'lesser' powers, and neutral nation states.


The story of the war is often dominated by the experiences, actions, and historical narratives of the major belligerent powers. By focusing on the war history of ten diverse countries, this analysis of the conflict?s global manifestations facilitates greater empathy with the experience of polities and societies dragged into regional and international conflicts. The volume offers valuable insights on the war?s place in national culture and collective memory.


National Perspectives on the Global Second World War is an essential contribution to the study of the Second World War and will be of particular interest to scholars of imperial and colonial history, military history, and global history.
