The Great World War 1914-1945: Who Won, Who

Our world was shaped by war. Old empires fell but new ones emerged. Settlements made in 1945 have now unravelled across eastern Europe and attitudes to war itself have changed. Post-war assumptions as to who had won and who had lost are open to question. In this second volume of The Great World War 1914-45, historians from all over the world reveal the very different experiences of the world's peoples. Book jacket.
