One of a series of five books written specifically for National Curriculum History at Key Stage 3, this one focuses on the legacy of World War I; the developing conflict between the democracies and dictatorships of Europe in the 1930s; the impact of World War II on both soldiers and civilians; the role of the principal wartime leaders; the Holocaust; and the problems of post-war reconstruction. The book draws on a range of contemporary evidence, such as newspapers, diaries, photographs, posters and oral history. It analyzes both the causes and the immediate consequences of World War II, and examines in detail the experience and impact of the war on people on the home front as well as in Europe, the Far East and other parts of the world.
