The Great War, America and the Remaking of the Global Order, 1916-1931

The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy

The Wages of Destruction

In the depths of the Great War, with millions of dead and no imaginable end to the conflict, societies around the world began to buckle. A new global order was being born. Adam Tooze's panoramic book tells the radical story of the struggle for global mastery from the battles of the Western Front in 1916 to the Great Depression of the 1930s. The Delugeis both a brilliantly illuminating exploration of the past and an essential history for the present. 'Bold and ambitious . . . the work of a fine historian at the peak of his powers . . . probably the best of the current books about the First World War.' Ben Shephard, Observer 'Masterly . . . required reading for anyone who wants to truly understand the significance of the war.' Adrian Gregory, BBC History Magazine'An utterly hypnotic history of the aftermath of the First World . . . a huge, formidable achievement.' Sinclair McKay, Daily Telegraph'Reminds us why we write history and why we should read it.' Neil Gregor, Literary Review'Boldly argued, fluently written . . . an invaluable account of why the US and its allies, having defeated Germany in 1918, were unable thereafter to stabilize the world.' Tony Barber, Financial Times'Brilliant, bold and persuasive . . . a genuinely global revision.'

Volume 1: The military events of the Second World War have been the subject of historical debate from 1945 to the present. It mattered greatly who won, and fighting was the essential determinant of victory or defeat. In Volume 1 of 'The Cambridge History of the Second World War' a team of twenty-five leading historians offer a comprehensive and authoritative new account of the war's military and strategic history. Part I examines the military cultures and strategic objectives of the eight major powers involved. Part II surveys the course of the war in its key theatres across the world, and assesses why one side or the other prevailed there. Part III considers, in a comparative way, key aspects of military activity, including planning, intelligence, and organisation of troops and material, as well as guerrilla fighting and treatment of prisoners of war.
