A great read that further illustrates the truly global nature of this horrendous conflict. Chamberlin decentralizes Europe, while still showing the interconnectedness of the global conflict through imperialism, militarism, and colonization. The text truly highlights that the motivating factors behind WWI were alive and well in WWII. Chamberlin rightly shows that the rhetoric around antifascism is something of a historically comfortable narrative that does not hold up well against the imperialist aims of all the major combatants. Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan are certainly 'villains', but Chamberlin makes clear that in global conflicts, nobody's hands are entirely clean
