World War II was the most lethal conflict in human history. Never
before had a war been fought on so many diverse landscapes and in
so many different ways, from rocket attacks in London to jungle
fighting in Burma to armor strikes in Libya.

The Second World Wars examines how combat unfolded in the
air, at sea, and on land to show how distinct conflicts among
disparate combatants coalesced into one interconnected global war.
Drawing on 3,000 years of military history, Victor Davis Hanson
argues that despite its novel industrial barbarity, neither the
war's origins nor its geography were unusual. Nor was its ultimate
outcome surprising. The Axis powers were well prepared to win
limited border conflicts, but once they blundered into global war,
they had no hope of victory.
