Richard Overy covers the origins of the war from its background in the First World War to its expansion to embrace the Soviet Union, Japan and the United States by the end of 1941. Creating a comprehensive and analytical narrative while remaining a succinct overview of the subject, this book takes a thematic approach to the complex range of events that culminated in global warfare, discussing factors such as economic rivalry, rearmament and domestic politics and emphasizing that any explanation of the outbreak of hostilities must be global in scope. This new edition includes more discussion of the role of empire and the imperial background to the war. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContaining several new primary source documents alongside a glossary, a chronology of key events and a who's who of important figures, this book\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eis an invaluable introduction for any student of this fascinating period in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard Overy\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of History at the University of Exeter.
