A very comprehensive history of both World Wars.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The German Wars, 1914-1945 (Hardcover)
This book, written by a Canadian history professor, gives an unbiased outline of the causes of both World Wars. I have used it in my university history courses and it has enabled me write essays that approach the origins of the First World War from quite a different perspective than the current Anglo/American view that Germany was entirely responsible for both wars. After a thorough study of this book, I am firmly convinced that Germany was no more guilty of causing the first catastrophe than any of the other belligerents and, considering that she was always outnumbered by the rest of the Allies, including Britain and her colonies, France, Russia and, near the end of the war, the USA, she fought magnificently. If there had been no First World War there would most certainly never have been a Second; Germany would probably have developed into a constitutional monarchy, like some other European states,and Hitler would never have achieved power.

2 World Wars were really one long one,
By A Customer
This review is from: German Wars 1914-1945 (Hardcover)
I actually had the good fortune to have this man as my history professor at Brock University for a semester (he was a retired Colonel in the Canadian armed forces). We were studying military tactics in the 19th and 20th century and naturally it was recommended that we buy and read his book.The book focus's on the idea that the first and second world war were not seperate events but rather one long war with a period of peace between the 2 conflicts. To support this idea, the book delves into the political/social and economic factors that lead to the first world war. Following the first world war, the book presents more political, social and economic factors that inevitibly lead to the second world war. The 2 wars themselves are not covered in much detail except for the major strategies of each country involved. The strategies are criticized/applauded as being great/bad and are reviewed in great detail. The book itself is a little dry at times especially in the events leading up to WWI, but it's a fascinating idea that the 2 wars are so closely tied especially in light of all the political events that are revealed. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in political/social/economic background of the 2 wars and the major countries strategies in each war.
