Different world visions collided as fiercely as the great armies which encountered each other on the battlefields of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The struggle of ideas was as vicious as the battle on, and below the waves as was the fight in the skies above. Indeed, the culture war and national differences drove the conflict and influenced where, when, why, and even how, the war was fought.Churchill, Stalin, and Roosevelt - as well as their opponents; Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito - shaped events.

The culture that produced Anglo-Saxon exceptionalism, and colonialism, gave Britain and her Allies the advantage over the Nazis.Initiative, imagination, industriousness, innovation, ingenuity, and inventiveness; encouraged by the powerful inducement that is a lust for private profit - though now unpopular in some circles - proved to be the basis for the superior social, economic, political, and military system which confronted the Axis.For some time, Great Britain and its Empire stood alone against the might and menace of the Axis powers. Churchill, embodying a culture of defiance, believed that the English-speaking peoples would ultimately triumph. He was right. World War II: The First Culture War asserts why he was right and how this great victory was fought.…
