It probes clichés such as 'the special relationship' and even 'the Second World War'. And it offers new views of the familiar, such as the Fall of France in 1049 or Franklin Roosevelt as 'the wheelchair president.' Incisive and readable, written by leading international historian, these essays encourages us to think our understanding of this momentous period in the world history. -- Back cover UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0518/2005025710.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0638/2005025710-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0725/2005025710-b.html ER -
