During recent wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, US presidents and British prime ministers have tried to claim they were following in the footsteps of Winston Churchill by standing up to dictators. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn The Second World War Chris Bambery tests this position in a thorough account of the war and tries to understand why it still dominates TV history channels and school history books. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBambery argues that the conflict ultimately was about a division of the world between the great powers, as well as a rising of ordinary people against fascism.
