Section Information for Summer 2021
The Second World War remains the greatest catastrophe in human history. The conflict raged from the late 1930s until August of 1945; by the time Japan signed the final Instrument of Surrender, more than 60 million people—the majority of them civilians—had lost their lives in the fighting. The war raged across the globe, involving all the world’s major powers, and combat occurred on four continents, in the sky, on the oceans and under the seas. The war changed geopolitics in ways that reverberated throughout the twentieth century and continue to this day.
This readings seminar offers students an opportunity to familiarize themselves with some of the broad contours of World War II scholarship. Over the course of the summer session, students will read widely in the history of the war, studying some classic works alongside some of the most important recent scholarship.
