Hanson examines how combat unfolded in the air, at sea, and on land to show how distinct conflicts among disparate combatants coalesced into one interconnected global war. He argues that despite its novel industrial barbarity, neither the war's origins nor its geography were unusual. Nor was its ultimate outcome surprising.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.54 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54 Hanson Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList
