Richard Overy paints a comprehensive, new picture of the Second World War - as the last gasp of imperialism. He shows it as an imperialist war that surpasses everything that went before - in which all warring parties, Allies as well as Axis powers, strived to fortify, defend, expand or even create empires. A global, temporally far-reaching event and a perspective in which, for example, the war in the Pacific comes into greater focus than usual; starting as early as 1931 with the Japanese Empire's invasion of Manchuria, which set the tone for Germany and Italy's excessive expansion efforts.

Overy describes the events that led to the catastrophe as well as the violent consequences beyond 1945; It shows the geopolitical-strategic as well as the human dimension of this war, with which the imperialist age really came to an end. The opus magnum of one of the most important historians of the Second World War, the result of decades of research - and a reassessment of this most destructive of all wars, which also allows us to see our present with different eyes.
