This handbook investigates the multifaceted global impact of World War II, challenging traditional Eurocentric narratives by examining the conflict through diverse geographical, social, and ideological lenses. Editors Jonathan A. Grant and G. Kurt Piehler compile contributions from a wide array of scholars to synthesize the war's influence on human society, technology, and international relations. The text argues that the conflict was not merely a series of military engagements but a transformative event that fundamentally altered the global psyche and political landscape.
