Summary
The Second World War casts a long shadow, portrayed as a necessary and paradigmatic war that defeated fascism. During recent wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, US presidents and British prime ministers have tried to claim they were following in the footsteps of Winston Churchill by standing up to dictators. *BR**BR*In A Marxist History of the Second World War Chris Bambery tests this position in a thorough account of the war and tries to understand why it still dominates TV history channels and school history syllabuses.*BR**BR*Bambery argues that the conflict ultimately was about a division of the world between the great powers, as well as a rising of ordinary people against fascism. He offers a complex analysis that is largely lacking in many modern and conventional histories of the war.
