This war rightly has been called a total war. New technologies and strategies affected civilians as much as the military, and the fighting raged across the globe. We examine the war in Europe, Asia, and beyond, exploring such questions as the role of aerial bombing, of science, of intelligence, and of propaganda in the conflagration while considering the war's impact on daily life in occupied countries, and the distinct experience of the dictatorships and democracies.
