The Long Shadow of World War II Summary

The Long Shadow of World War II: The Legacy of the War and its Impact on Political and Military Thinking Since 1945 by Matthias Strohn

2020 marks 75 years since the end of World War II, yet even as the war slips from living memory, its legacies continue to influence current political and military thinking.

This anthology will analyse these legacies for a number of countries and regions including China, Russia, the United States, the Near East, and Germany illustrating in detail how World War II is not merely a historical event, but a defining moment for current military and political thinking around the globe. This book will therefore be of interest for those interested in history, but also political and military decision makers, and followers of current political and military affairs.

The Long Shadow of World War II Reviews

The accuracy of the accounts and analysis makes this a valuable resource not only for historians but also for international political analysts. * Journal of Military History 11/01/2023 *
As with any compilation work, the tone and style of the writing changes between authors with each new chapter. However, the various approaches create a harmonious narrative akin to an experienced jazz band, where each musician enjoys his/her moment in the spotlight while complementing the other players. While no single book can possibly account for every facet of World War II, Long Shadow effectively offers a comprehensive analysis of the war and its continuing importance. * ARMOR Magazine 21/12/2022 *
This thought-provoking book provides policy makers, senior military leaders, and the general reader alike with an easy-to-understand analysis of how the collective memories of World War II continue to influence international and regional relations between states. * Military Review 02/11/2022 *
