As in the first volume of Todman's epic account of British involvement in World War II (\"Total history at its best,\" according to Jay Winter), he highlights the inter-connectedness of the British experience in this moment and others, focusing on its inhabitants, its defenders, and its wartime leadership. Todman explores the plight of families doomed to spend the war struggling with bombing, rationing, exhausting work and, above all, the absence of their loved ones and the uncertainty of their return. It also documents the full impact of the entrance into the war by the United States, and its ascendant stewardship of the war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eBritain's War: A New World, 1942-1947\u003c\/em\u003e is a triumph of narrative and research. Todman explains complex issues of strategy and economics clearly while never losing sight of the human consequences--at home and abroad--of the way that Britain fought its war.
