An excellent review of the Strategies of War directed and intending to understand the comprehensive theories of World War II and the German War including Italy, Japan, Rumania and the other less active Axis partners. Mostly, the "inception, motivation, and the anticipated culmination are all German." ( p. vii) Depicting how if the United Nations had been defeated, then the Nazi's could mold their own world order, & how willing & unwilling allies would be right where the Germans wanted them. I point out 'wanted them', because this book is printed in 1942, three years prior to the United States winning this War. That is what makes this book an exception to many other books on WWII, and the Nazi's scheme of a total world order and domination. Very precise and detailed, with a huge assortment of German Authors and many of the Third Reich, including Adolf Hitler's "New Order" as the last chapter. All the material was compiled from thousands of books, articles and speeches of Hitler's highest Military staff, that help to comprise a completed picture of the Nazi's New Order. Written mainly from an investigation conducted by the Committee for National morale, this book brings together about 125 revered specialists in many fields to include: psychology, medicine, public affairs, & opinions, industrial relations, social science, military affairs & the arts.
Part One is The Pattern of Modern War. Part 2 is The Art of War. Part Three is The War Machine. Part 4 is The Sinews of total War, and Part 5 is Hitler's Grand Strategy, which include 2 chapters: Ch. 26. Geopolitics-a Weapon of War, & ch. 27. The "New Order". An extensive Bibliography, notes, names and Index follows.
An exceptional read into the psychotic and mentally disturbed view the Germans had for total world domination. A great review of everything historical that had had occurred up until the date of this printing which appears to be Feb. 2, 1942. Understanding the complexities of their madness and how they planned to take complete control of the world, it lends more than just insight into Hitler's disdain for peace, and certain people, but his sickness, insecurities, emotional instabilities, and desires to be worshiped and dominate the entire world.
