520 |a "This encyclopedia represents a single source of authoritative information on World War II that provides accessible coverage of the causes, course, and consequences of the war. Its introductory overview essays and cross-referenced AZ entries explain how various sources of friction culminated in a second worldwide conflict, document the events of the war and why individual battles were won and lost, and identify numerous ways the war has permanently changed the world. The coverage addresses the individuals, campaigns, battles, key weapons systems, strategic decisions, and technological developments of the conflict, as well as the diplomatic, economic, and cultural aspects of World War II. The five-volume set provides comprehensive information that gives readers insight into the reasons for the war's direction and outcome. Readers will understand the motivations behind Japan's decision to attack the United States, appreciate how the concentration of German military resources on the Eastern Front affected the war's outcome, understand the major strategic decisions of the war and the factors behind them, grasp how the Second Sino-Japanese War contributed to the start of World War II, and see the direct impact of new military technology on the outcomes of the battles during the conflict. The lengthy documents volume represents a valuable repository of additional information for student research. Features: provides a clear understanding of the causes of World War II, reaching back to World War I and the role of the Western democracies in its origin; examines home front developments in major countries during the war, such as race and gender relations in the United States; recognizes the important roles played by women in the war and describes how the United States mobilized its economy and citizenry for total war; discusses the Holocaust and establishes responsibility for this genocide; details the changing attitudes toward the war as expressed in film and literature."  |c Publisher description.
