- Synopsis
- "The Reformation, the French Revolution, the First World War were episodes so explosive and cataclysmic that the discussion of their origins exercises a perennial fascination. The Second World War is in a similar category. There are several reasons for the attraction it exerts: fashionable nostalgia; the background of intense ideological struggle between fascism, communism and democracy; the decisive contribution of the war to the decline of western Europe from the political pre-eminence enjoyed for four hundred years; the mass of public and private papers - never before have historians been able to write so close to events with the benefit of archives; lastly the fact that it was a peoples’ war, involving all the machinery and resources of the modern state." -Introduction: Sources and Historiography
