Weinberg, Germany, Hitler, And World War Two - Essays In Modern German And World History

Abstract

Probably the most prominent academic historian who has written extensively on the Second World War is Gerhard Weinberg of the University of North Carolina. His A World in Arms: A Global History of World War Two has distinguished itself from many other "one volume" histories of the Second World War by its high level of scholarship and use of archival materials. Similarly, although primarily known as a leading diplomatic historian, Weinberg's work is unique in the way it skillfully combines military, diplomatic, and social history.
