World War II in Global Perspective (1931-1953)/全球视野下的第二次世界大战（1931-1953）

A comprehensive review of World War II in a global context, witnessing the major reshuffle of the world order amid the power struggles of nations.在全球背景下全面回顾第二次世界大战 见证各国权力角逐中的全球秩序大洗牌This book provides a dynamic and global scholarly account of World War II, attempting to reconstruct the regional and temporal frameworks of the war from a traditional perspective while genuinely breaking away from the 'Euro-American centrism.' By expanding regional perspectives to a global scale, it particularly emphasizes the often-overlooked war processes in Asia, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa within the conventional narrative of World War II history. It also examines the interwoven political and economic activities in these regions.Simultaneously, the book extends the traditional temporal framework of World War II to the period of 1931-1953, incorporating globally significant regional conflicts that occurred before the outbreak of the war in the European theater. It further integrates localized conflicts in the Asian theater after 1945 into the narrative framework of World War II. Through this approach, the work offers a more systematic scholarly analysis of the global landscape, provides a deeper examination of U.S. hegemony, and points out significant flaws in the U.S.-dominated narrative of World War II history. The persistent regional conflicts emerging after 1945 serve as evidence of the failure of the U.S.-led world order established in the aftermath of the war.本书对第二次世界大战进行了动态的、全球性的学术描述，尝试重构传统视角下第二次世界大战的区域与时间框架，真正破除'欧美中心论'，将区域视角放大至全球，重点包括在过往'二战'史中时常缺位的亚洲、拉丁美洲和撒哈拉以南的非洲地区的战争进程及其互相交织的政治与经济活动等，同时将传统认知中的'二战'时间框架扩展至1931-1953 年，将'二战''欧洲战场爆发前具有全球意义的区域冲突囊括在内，并将1945 年后亚洲战场的局部冲突纳入'二战'叙事框架，对世界格局进行了更加系统的学术论述，对美国霸权作了较为深刻的透视，并指明由美国主导的'二战'史叙事存在较大的缺陷，1945 年后层出不穷的地区冲突就证明了美国推动建立的以其为主导的世界秩序的失败。
