The Peoples’ War?

The Peoples’ War? offers alternative approaches to the history of the Second World War, the changes that it catalyzed, and how it is remembered. The volume challenges the nationally unifying narrative of the war as a “Peoples’ War” and explores the event as a global experience.

"Each chapter provides a contribution to an understanding of the war beyond long dominant narratives. Moreover, this collection seeks to propel further research into the impact of the war from the same societal-political level of examination that it employs. The Peoples’ War? is intentionally posed as a question, in part, to stimulate additional questions itself and, at this essential function of scholarship, it delivers." *Journal of Military *
