Description and Table of Contents

Description

The intention of this book is to set aside the accumulation of patriotic myth and political ideology that have characterized many Cold War studies of World War II. It represents a collaboration between scholars from Britain, USA and Russia, with the Russian contributions being among the first fruits of access to Soviet archives. Strategy, economy, the home front and foreign poicy are each studied nationally and then in the context of the other members of the alliance. The text attempts to see the wartime alliance as both national and international history.
