Description

World War II was a truly global conflict, fought in every one of the five continents. The players included not only soldiers and statesmen of orthodox background, but three dictators of world stature, Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin; demagogues such as Goebbels and ideologues like Alfred Rosenberg; politicians of charismatic power, like Roosevelt; prophets of national resistance, like Charles de Gaulle and of national liberation like Mahatma Ghandi. Routledge Who's Who in World War II: • brings together over 300 of the most important characters from every sphere of responsibility * provides a unique reference source about the life, career, and personality of each character Routledge Who's Who in World War II offers a concise guide for both the student and the general reader. Historian John Keegan approaches World War II from the human, rather than the military, viewpoint. Each entry conveys not only the salient facts about the life and career of each figure but also the flavor of their individuality, based on meticulous research and scholarship.
