Unknown Author

4.9/5 (21650 ratings)

Description:The twelve chapters in this volume have been selected and organized so as to present documents on some of the most controversial and debated historical issues regarding the U.S. participation in the war: how and why the United States entered the conflict, mobilized at home, developed a global and Allied strategy; fought the war in Europe and in the Pacific and Far East; experienced revolutionary changes in life at home; created and made use of major advances in technology, science, and medicine; failed for the most part to deal with German and Japanese wartime atrocities; planned for the postwar world, both at home and internationally; and ended the war against Japan with nuclear weapons. Each chapter consists of a general introduction that explains the key facts and interpretive controversies about the specific issue, followed by seven to ten documents with brief introductions. Preceding these chapter introductions and documents is a general introduction that briefly describes the origins and causes of World War II; the military successes and ensuing expansion of German and Japanese territory and power before U.S. entry; how and why the United States and its allies were able by 1945 to totally defeat the Axis Powers; and the impact of the war on both the nation and international relations in general. The ensuing chapters are arranged both chronologically and topically, beginning with the road to U.S. entry into the war and ending with the atomic bomb and surrender of Japan. Both the chapter and the document introductions raise a series of questions to consider, many of which have divided and continue to divide World War II historians.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
