About this product
Product Information
This dictionary covers the complex and costly conflict that began when Germany, ruled by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, invaded neighboring Poland on 1 September 1939; and concluded when Germany surrendered on 7-9 May 1945, leaving much of the European continent in ruins and its population devastated. The war against Germany, Italy, and the other European Axis members was fought primarily in Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, East and North Africa, and the Atlantic Ocean. The Axis powers were defeated by the Allies, led by the "Grand Alliance" of Great Britain, the United States, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.The Historical Dictionary of World War II: The War against Germany and Italy relates the history of this war through a chronology, an introductory essay, maps and photos, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 300 cross-referenced entries on the countries and geographical areas involved in the war, as well as the nations remaining neutral; wartime alliances and conferences; significant civilian and military leaders; and major ground, naval, and air operations. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about World War II.

Reviews
This is an important reference work on the Second World War in Europe . . . [It's] . . . up to date, especially in respect of its bibliography, and should be regarded as a useful supplement even by libraries that have the earlier work . . . [I]t will form a valuable reference especially for those that have little knowledge of the conflict. The bibliography will probably be the most consulted section in many reference settings, particularly by those in the early stages of research or librarians seeking to check and update their monograph holdings on the conflict., With more than 300 entries, this dictionary is not intended as a comprehensive guide but rather as an introductory work for students with little or no knowledge of the conflict between the 'Grand Alliance' of Great Britain, the United States, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the European Axis, which was led by Germany and Italy and their notorious leaders. Brief battle summaries, biographical sketches, and entries on related topics are included as well as a lengthy introductory essay on the conflict. A chronology of events, a topically arranged bibliography of further readings, and a list of acronyms and abbreviations also are included. The dictionary section of the volume provides cross-referenced entries on the countries and geographical areas involved in the war. Countries that remained neutral as well as wartime alliances, significant civilian and military leaders, and major ground and naval operations are featured. This will be a useful supplemental volume for students and researchers studying World War II and the European theater., Tackling a massive topic like the Second World War in two volumes is no small undertaking and author Wells. . . .is to be congratulated on completing the undertaking. . . .[L]et it be clear from the outset that this reviewer. . . .was much impressed with this book. . . .Wells writes in a straightforward and very readable, style, lacing her narrative with facts that readily convey the major events of the conflict. For those unfamiliar with the course of the Second World War, this can be recommended as an easily digestible overview. . . .This is an important reference work on the Second World War in Europe. . . .This could then. . . .rival recent major reference works on the war., This extensive dictionary by Wells (assistant editor, The Journal of Military History; author, Historical Dictionary of World War II: The War against Japan), begins with an excellent essay. It takes a high-level view of WW II in Germany and Italy, and of the roots of the conflict; the essay alone is an excellent resource for anyone looking for a good historical overview. The middle section of the book is in standard alphabetical dictionary format, with the author covering all of the major nations, individual players, and battles of the conflict. The 300-plus entries are concise and well written and include some images and maps. The most important part of this book is the excellent 300-plus page bibliography, complete with its own table of contents. This section contains a myriad of primary and secondary sources that scholars will find extremely helpful in continuing their studies on the conflict and its origins. This volume is a must for public and academic libraries. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
