Description
The aims that drove the major powers to fight in World War II are explored in this comprehensive study. The book examines how some war aims remained constant throughout the conflict, while others evolved as a result of changing fortunes. Victor Rothwell sheds new light on the wartime transition of the United States and the Soviet Union to superpower status, and reveals that consistency was most evident in Great Britain's approach, which sought to maintain the international prewar status quo. In contrast, Nazi Germany was intent on destroying this order and replacing it with a new one that would eradicate liberal and civilized values. This book is an ideal resource for students studying World War II, thanks to its broad coverage, comparative element, and accessible synthesis of published sources.
