Book Review

Allies in War: Britain and America against the Axis Powers, 1940–1945. By Mark A. Stoler. (London: Hodder Arnold, 2005. xxvi, 292 pp. $25.00, ISBN 0-340-72026-3.)
Some historians are great because they write great books, others because they write books that need to be written. Mark A. Stoler, professor of history at the University of Vermont and past-president of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations, has done both. Allies in War offers an accessible and gracefully written synthesis of the wealth of new and important scholarship (particularly about the Pacific theater) produced over the last quarter century addressing American and British grand strategy during World War II.	1
Allies in War presents a global overview of Anglo-American cooperation against the Axis powers with a chronological account of the major diplomatic and military events. It begins with a brief summary of World War I and the interwar years, continues through the capitulation of Japan in September 1945, and concludes with a short discussion of the origins of the Cold War. Stoler covers a lot of ground.	. . .
