World War II by Ronald Heiferman Hardcover Book

There have been many World Wars throughout history. The War of Spanish Succession, the Seven Years' War, the Wars of the French Revolution and World War I were struggles between European powers. WORLD WAR II was the first world war which was fought in equal intensity in Europe, Africa and Asia simultaneously. World War II developed out of three quite separate conflicts: the German-Polish War of 1939, the Russo-Finnish War of 1939-40, and the Sino-Japanese War of 1937-45. The entry of the United States into this struggle after the cataclysm of Pearl Harbor gave World War II its truly global character. Tens of millions of men fought in this conflict, and tens of millions of soldiers and civilians alike died in an attempt to destroy the Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan. RONALD HEIFERMAN describes the epic struggle of World War II which was, in fact, the second round in a European Civil War which began in 1914. • Condition: Used item in very good condition based on age • Binding: Hardcover • The dust jacket has damage including scuff marks and tears (see pics of inside & outside of dust jacket) • Pages have a bit of yellowing around edges (see pics), but • No underlining/highlighting of text • No writing in margins • No missing pages • No dog-eared pages • Some pages have stains (see pics) • Authors: Ronald Heiferman • Publisher: Octopus Books • Publication Year: 1973 • Weight: 3.84 Ibs / 1740 grams • Language: English
