From the Publisher:

The Great World War 1914-45 asks the question: Should not the whole period between 1914 and 1945 be recognized as one �Great War,� a conflict that was not resolved until the extinction of the German military ambition? In this second volume, twenty eminent historians conclude their rich collaboration, asking: Who won, and who lost? Old empires fell, but new ones emerged. Settlements made in 1945 have now unraveled across eastern Europe. Postwar assumptions as to who emerged victorious and who were defeated are still open to question. This final volume reveals the very different experiences of the world�s peoples in the midst and in the aftermath of this monumental conflict.
